Woodwards: Then and now. It was blown up on Monday. They got a spectacle and we got 100 units of housing that will probably never house anyone in the area who actually needs it.

Awesome and terrible video of the explosion linked below. It's really creepy watching a spectacle like this; seeing something you know so well reduced to rubble. Watch the whole video, the clouds of dust and smoke covering the streets is unbelievably fucked-up if you've ever lived here. For reference, Wil's old house is just off camera to the right and my friend Jesse was asleep in the building in the lower-right corner at the time this was filmed.
