Startling sight through a Johnny’s Market picture window

Through a Johnny’s picture window

One lone shooping cart

The roof over the check out area comes down

The check out counter’s gone, the facade only remains

The approaching back hoe

Tearing down the east wall

Tearing down the east wall

Concrete block and brick come down in a cloud of dust

The powerful back hoe works gently

Chunks and bits hit the ground

Clearing away and sorting the debris

Stacking the I-beams for recycling

The roof over check out area comes down

Looking through Johnny’s windows from Sappington Rd to Gravois

Clearing away the debris

Wednesday, May 4, the Johnny’s Market facade came down…

…at 10:05 am in one large tumble, with a rumble and a cloud of dust.

It all comes down at once in a huge tumble

On Wednesday, all that’s lfeft is the facade

Getting to position to pull it down

Breaking apart the facade

Clearing away the rubble, only two pillars left standing

Wednesday afternoon at end of work day, nothing is left; no pillars, no rubble, only sorted recycling heaps. Johnny’s is gone…
