Tearing old school down video

[Nick 13]

Bit of Ohio drivel I guess. Heard they were tearing our old shool down so I took some pictures as they did it and made this video. My big class of 35 graduates from 1988 didnt have a 20th reunion, or maybe they did and just didnt tell me

Strange music but it is free.

Nick, Was it kind of sad to see the ol' girl go? The building I went to school in is still standing though it is kind of old. I believe it was built in the late 40's. Burly

I agree with John...kind of sad to see a peice of history like that go away.

Sadly in my business I have seen a lot of neat old buildings come down to make way for parking lots or newer offices & condo's.

One of the neatest was the Oliver farm equip. plant in South Bend,IN...we wandered around the old buildings for hours while the asphalt plant was down & we were on hold with our paveing project on the site.

As an old building it was kind of sad to see the school going down. I just read it had been built in 1936 at a cost of $110,000. The real sad thing is that Dad and I were fighting over the building layout but I had to admit he was right, and he hadnt went to school in it for near 60 years. The building I went to for k-3 was bad before I went to it and it was torn down many years ago. Kind of hard now to see it even fiting into the open lot that is there today.

I bet that old factory would have been real interesting Stephen. Heck Im overly impressed just walking through an old junkyard. :WRS:

Nick I dig checking out old junkwards too.

There's an old tractor junkyard south of South Bend I'd like to get into sometime.

Sometimes when I can't make it to a junkyard I just rearange my garage & it's like walking through a junkyard for the first time too. :whistle:

Stephan- My departed father was a welder at that Oliver plant for 40 years. He took me on a tour once when I was a teenager-I even got to go up to the large overhead crane that moved the steel about. I turned down the offer to ride in it-TOO high for me. He didn't live to see the building come down-probably best-it would have been very emotional for him-40 years in one location! Seeing all these buildings ,that meant so much to South Bend, Oliver, Studebaker, etc be torn down makes me feel old. But then again I am. The old makes way for the new.-AL- :whistle:
