   That’s awesome. I mean, the picture, not the destruction of history.

   they are rebuilding something better for it in it’s place. So the title is a bit misleading.

   MUCK RACKING!

   More serious response:

   I hope the new museum of religious freedom or whatever it is will be economically sustainable.

   I hope there is more effort to recycle the building material from what is being torn down than is evident in the picture (which is a great picture, look at how it includes the flags in the background).

   I feel like museums are rarely economically sustainable although I’m not sure what you really mean by that. Don’t most rely on donations and grants and whatnot. I would think the hotels would be the critical part?

   I live directly next to this site and I’m almost positive that all of that building was discarded. Rough timeline:
   Day 1: knock building down
   Day 2: put rubble into trucks and carry away
   Day 3: fill hole with dirt
   Day 4 through current: leave fence and cones everywhere effing up area parking and traffic

   Note that at no point does “careful sorting” take place.
