The Old Mountain Bell Tower (later known as the Old Qwest Tower), near Central & Thomas in mid-town Phoenix was imploded today and came down in a pile just where the demolition crew planned it to be.
We were there with a perfect view to the event, on top of a parking structure only a little more than a block away. All I can say is, "WOW! That was very cool."
So watch my video of the events of the day...
Michigan grown, I was there all my life. This is my life now in the "valley of the sun", Phoenix, AZ.

Downtown Phoenix Demolition
The old ten story Quest Office (Mountain Bell Telephone) Building in Downtown Phoenix is being made ready for implosion this Sunday, and Heidi & I have a front row seat to all the action. The world famous crew of Advanced Explosives Demolition will bring the aging building down and it will be taped by the TLC Channel for an upcoming reality show.
We will be perched on top of the parking ramp directly across the street from the event, with a wide view to the building's demise.
Read the story below, from ABC-15, or see the video of the story. ABC-15.com will stream the demolition live at 10 am local Phoenix time (1 pm EDT) this Sunday.
