The Scene: Sixth Street, Downtown Minneapolis, November 18th 1979
Construction Guy: Hello buildings of Downtown Minneapolis! How we doing?
Buildings: Just swell thanks!
Construction Guy: Good, good, glad to hear it. Say, uh..I don’t know if you guys heard, but we’re going to build a friend for you, and he’s going to be called the “City Center” building.
Buildings: Awesome!
Construction Guy: Yeah…ummm…he’s a pretty big building though and we need to find a spot for him…oh jeez…uh…Say, who wants to help ol’ Gus out, and get your name etched in the city history books?
Dyckman Hotel: Me, Me, Me, Right Here, Pick Me, Pick Me!!
Construction Guy: That’s terrific, thanks Dyckman, I’ll get started.
Dyckman Hotel: Say ummm, whatcha doing?
Construction Guy: Hooking you up with dynamite charges.
Dyckman Hotel: (nervous giggle) Okay I’ll bite, why’s that?
Construction Guy: You’re going to be the first building in Minneapolis history to be imploded.
Dyckman Hotel: Crap.
Talking buildings rule.
