The Smokestack demolition occurred very quickly, but the work on the memorial has been progressing at a much slower speed. Mr. Larkins has been sending me memorial pictures all summer, and I finally published them on Cowell Historical Society site: http://cowellhistoricalsociety.org/html/memorial.html Here is a picture of Jim Kikker and Tillie Larkins getting their souvenir bricks [...] Crossings Residents can pick up a brick at the Business Office on Saturday, August 8, between 9 and noon. The smokestack is down to just a few feet, the bricks are gone, and rumor has it that the demolition crew will be gone after tomorrow Today was a clean-up day at the Smokestack. Today’s Contra Costa Times has a slide show of the Smokestack’s demolition. The Smokestack is no longer visible . . . The crane, along with its pulverizer, is gone. The Crane Crew finished their part of the job about 2:30 this afternoon The second week of demolition has started, and the smokestack is barely visible above the trees. It’s the end of the first week, and you can’t even see the smokestack from Ygnacio Valley Road, anymore! The Smokestack is going quickly Day 2 of demolition has left a very jagged edge. Day 1 is over, and the smokestack is much smaller than it had been. Demolition of the Cowell smokestack started at about 8:30 this morning. Today, the crane will lift the pulverizer into place, and start chewing up the smokestack from the top down The Demolition has started, so here’s one last look at the smokestack. The smokestack site looks like it’s ready for the demolition work to start.
