At just after 8 a.m. this morning, a 6 year journey began its final leg. The huge jaws of the concrete pulverizer were lowered on to the top of the Cowell Smokestack. With the push of a pedal, the jaws closed and took their first bite of the smokestack. A collective sigh and shouts of "Awww" could be heard from the crowd of people who gathered to see it. News crews from the local papers and television/radio stations reported on the event live."Today is the day," said Mark Weinmann, Project Manager, "we are very excited and sentimental at the same time."

claycord is the media why don't you have them up there with your list of media coverage? They have covered it more than anybody out there.
I agree with anon 11:25!
Claycord.com is rather prominently displayed in the Cowell Smokestack's favorite blogs. I regularly provide information for the Mayor myself. So please check him out by using my link to his website.
On the brick, no you didn't get one. I would know. No one has gotten one yet.
Thanks.

Why are you removing all the posts? What's the point of even having a blog?
