Begone, eyesore!

Finally, it's happening: the homely 1970s-era building that previously housed the Liberty Bell is due to be removed by the end of April, leaving the sight lines of the mall clear from Independence Hall to the Constitution Center. Thanks go to the coalition of local trade unions that are donating some 2,000 hours to make this happen. yay!!

Update: more on this today, including a photo, here. The old structure is headed to someplace in Alaska, after Bryn Mawr failed to pull together funds to install it on campus.
