Going Down

.

There's a lot of construction going on throughout the Bay Area. Of course, you have to break a few eggs sometimes before you get to build the new structure. For example, I used to walk by a packing plant in Emeryville where the Dole company once stuffed green beans and corn into cans. If you drive by that location today, you'll see Pixar Animation.

Here's another Emeryville project which has not be identified yet. It appears part of the building is being deconstructed, and part of it will be allowed to stand. Guess which part is going down.

Mission Accomplished. Really, mission accomplished.

The construction team convenes to celebrate the achievement. They'll remember this day for the rest of their lives, assuming they all die by the end of the month.
