The Tidewater Grain Elevator, an abandoned structure next to I-95 in South Philadelphia so constant that most people stopped noticing it, now is gone. The urban blog Necessity for Ruins has video of the implosion early Sunday morning. It also has this comment from a guy it identifies as Harry Hagin, site superintendent for Camden Iron and Metal Inc., which owns the site and arranged the demolition: "Philadelphia used to have a lot of industry. Not so much anymore."
We'll poke around for more information. We missed word of this implosion. And it's unclear what Camden Iron and Metal has in store for the site.
