First off, I want to
correct my previous comments on how the whole of the Lotus' block was
coming down. That was the impression I'd gotten from the articles I'd
read. But in reality, it appears the McCarthy-Holtus building is
going to be left standing, and the new hotel will wrap around this building. As such, the building is still open, and has been
given a protective coat of paint on the two exposed sides (I
assume the Lotus side will get one as well, when the last of it comes
down). These painted walls, will of course be hidden by the new,
possibly haunted, building.
Anyways onto photos of the
Lotus' destruction. Here it is last week, just starting to come down:
And this week with just a
small section of wall remaining:
Prep work on the
previously cleared areas has continued as well. It should not be long
now, before actual construction starts:
