^ Yes, those are the ones, Mopacs.

They actually knocked em down rather than imploding them. But they did the job rather quickly. I drive by every day and first noticed the wrecking ball on Wednesday. By Saturday, there was only one building left. By Monday, there was an awkward emptiness where those oversized WhiteCastles stood.

Make way for another SuperTarget and aloft.

Two 8 story buildings at Blanco/410, set back from the highway behind the Jim's restaurant.

This is the site of the Park North Plaza redevelopment.
