Today I talked to the crew while visiting to shoot some photos and learned a few things that are worth sharing...

*The stacks are not going to be left standing. They are doing to do an explosive implosion of the stacks. This will happen during stage 3 of the project, they are currently on stage 2.
*The demo is still around 8 months away from completion.
*The land is being cleared because a company wants to buy the space and develop it. However, they will not buy it until the land is cleared.
