This morning my bicycle route took me down Main Street, past the future Scribner Place site, and up Corydon Pike to Georgetown.
At 9:00 a.m., the larger of two condemned former Schmitt Furniture warehouses was intact, with a piece of heavy machinery idling in front of it.
By 1:00 p.m., after errands and lunch with my mom, I was riding past the same spot and in four short hours the building seemingly had imploded, the debris piled in heaps waiting to be carted off.
As noted here previously, the smaller of the two Schmitt warehouses, located where State Street meets the floodwall, is the former Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Depot.
We may have an update soon as to its fate.

Went by there today and was amazed at how quickly things are progressing. If you haven't had chance to look in the old railroad building before it comes down it might be worth a look see.
I saw it too... when I was getting my take home supper at (blush) SouthSide.
But...harumph... what odds do you lay that the 'Bune has no picture of this at all?
It indeed has none, at least today.
A reputable New Albanian told me that he never eats at the South Side because of hand washing issues (i.e., lack thereof). But hey, maybe times have changed!
test 1: pay no attention (for now) to the man behind this curtain.
test 2: and, for that matter, pay no attention to THIS man either.
