Are you ready for another implosion?

No, no, nothing to do with politics. Another old hotel implosion.


Cherry Demolition crews have been chipping away at buildings on the block bounded by Main, Fannin, Rusk, and Walker since October, to make room for a 46-story pipe wrench. And everything is set for Dykon's implosion of the 11-story Montagu Hotel (originally the Hotel Cotton, built in 1913) at the corner of Main and Rusk at 7 a.m. on Sunday, January 20th.

If you take pictures or video of this, send them to Swamplot. As long as no one turns up with any grassy knoll stuff, it's all good.
