The deeper inside they tear the building apart the deeper it hurts.😢 I hope they would at least recycle and repurpose the steel, the concrete and other building materials to good use. At least this way some parts of her will still live on. Memories of times cherished going to this once beautiful thriving retail icon will live forever in the hearts and minds of many people. Thank you to everyone who documented not just Century 3 but other dead, dying , abandoned, and now extinct malls. You're preserving their history. R.I.P Century 3. You will be missed. 😢
The company has been saving bits and pieces of the mall. They sold off the stars that hung above the fountain, they removed the lamp posts and railing from the deck bridges before demolishing them, and some of the entry signs haven't been destroyed yet (Entry C and F are still there on a small section of the deck left standing). Also, some JC Penney signage has been set aside (visible in some of my videos). Some people had to be jerks about how they sold the stars, so I really hope that didn't cause a change of heart. They also are being quite thorough at separating out the metals from the rest of the mall materials. The escalators, electrical transformers and switchgear, wiring, and metal framework have all been removed and separated out, while the soft materials that can't be reused are all piled up in the middle of the mall, likely to be hauled off once JC Penney is demolished. With the demolition of JC Penney, there are various trucks and dumpsters laid out around the excavator, and you can see in this video (and the newer one coming later today) how the tin roofing goes in one truck and the structural steel goes in another one. The concrete, brick, and block will likely all serve as fill for the east end of the mall (Phase II, ramps section) since some of it sits a full floor below the outside ground.
@@MrTsolar Thanks for filling us in on this information. I feel more relieved about this. Although I still wished that they could have saved the mall if it was under different circumstances. But good to know that some of the building materials are being repurposed.
Wow. Thanks for the updates.
Good video...finally getting into the good part...I'll check back 👌

It looks like they are separating the metal from the other debris !
@@tnolan3176 that's cool to hear.
It's so sad. What are people going to vandalize now? 😥

Wow we’re finally getting to the real stuff…
It looks like you even got a portion of the wall collapsing on video!
That's sad.
Whoa! Imagine if they were on break and someone snuck inside the mall through the demolished part of JCPenney!
Thats a lot of steel to scrap !
Sad to see it gobenn there many of times
It was the place to go in the 1980s.
