That was the back of the building. The people opposed to the "destruction" of the shopping center claim that the style is art-deco "moderne," which basically means that it was just a normal building when it was built in the 1930's. So big deal.
The people who are objecting to its "destruction" say that it is the second oldest shopping center in the country. Big f-ing deal. So to me, the bottom line is who cares if it is being destroyed, demolished, wrecked or whatever. Just as long as its on the ground quickly, LOL, before they can get an injunction or something.
As to the people who oppose destruction, I call them the "hysterical preservation" people.
Kudos to Cherry, bringing it down.

You know I thought the same thing when I watched the video. It just seemed like a normal building.
Why is it that protestors of demolition use the word "destruction"? It may be a semantic issue, but to me "destruction" implies a malicious defacement or damaging of property and "demolition" implies a planned and controlled removal of derelict property.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the structure being demo'ed really didn't look all that architecturally significant to me.

Here's a cool video of the demo:

It looks like Cherry is doing the job. Check out the chick who is complaining about the demo. She is a piece of work. Bet she is bummed to see it coming down because she really knows how to spend a guy's money in a fancy shopping center like that one. LOL.
