This morning I awoke to a distant blast sound. The Key Bank downtown imploded this morning at sunrise. I live about 2-3 miles from the area, and wouldn't expect to have heard it. I guess the dense cloud cover we have today made for a nice echo effect.
The Key Bank building is the last (I believe) building to be taken down for the new multi billion dollar City Creek Center being built over the next 5 years. I am more than happy for the investment downtown, but it is strange to drive by and see a huge pit of nothing where once huge buildings stood. I hope the demolition comes to an end soon, and the building begins.

"Success is not the key to happiness.
Happiness is the key to success.
If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful."
- Albert Schweitzer
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
