say goodbye to the Adam's Mark Hotel

The Adam's Mark Hotel on Clearwater Beach came down shortly after 7:00 this morning with a mighty implosion. The Adam's Mark was the first of the tall hotels you encountered after going down the beach past the concession stand and the southern-most parking lot. It's too bad I have no sound. This started with BLAM, BLAM, BLAM at regular intervals, ten or so BLAMS, and then the hotel collapsed in a matter of seconds. You can click for a bigger image.

It was ugly. I was happy to see it come down for a different reason. I remember when the south end of the beach was undeveloped, not even the bridge to Sand Key. It was where you took your girl to watch the submarine races. Unfortunately, what comes down must be replaced with something bigger and "better."
