    We just drove by.

    The signs are up on B-9. The park looks like a mess with piles of rubble everywhere. There is a circus tent up in the #43 parking lot at Lake and Hanford for the expected masses tomorrow morning (I guess). They have put tarps on the south side of B-59 to protect it from debris. B-59 was my home for over 30 years. It is the second Research Lab building and the site of nearly all of the research coating machines and emulsion facilities. So, it was a natural home to me. B-2, the research annex and B-42 the newer annex, both to the west of 59 are now gone.

    B-23, on Ridge Road, is in the last stages of gutting today getting ready for Sunday's show.

    The north side of 83, the new research building still stands incomplete. The plan was to add a new tower to the north and move all film making R&D there, but it was never to be. The south side of the B-81 research annex is still incomplete. That is the digital fabrication lab.

    This was my first trip by there in about a year. I usually take visiting APUG members by to see the place.
