The building is owned by Dallas County and will be demolished for the new site of the Foresnsics Science Lab for Dallas County.

ya i figured it was owned by the county since the building next to it is a dallas co building also
any idea on when ??

If and when they implode this building I wander where would be a good place to shoot? Looking at Google satellite maps the end of Crampton looks like it might be good. It is only about 800ft away though. I've never been to an implosion before so I have no idea how close is allowed.

rent a room at the renisannace hotel across the street as long as they give you one you can see from
or the parking garage at market hall is directly across stemmons

Hmmm, I drive by there daily and never noticed that it was about to go.

I caught just a snippet of news today that they were planning to implode some building at 7:00 Sunday morning- I assume this is the one.

This building is gone now. But they tore it down with wrecking balls, they didn't pull it with explosives.

Man, if I ever looked up at a building and saw a big red "X" on it, I'd have to assume the worst for that building. Hope I never find that on my house. :)
