Five for Friday, Vol. 23: A Bigger Bang Edition

OK, I know running late seems to be a habit of late in Jonworld. But life should be less hectic now that one big work project is over.

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences imploded its old student dorm on a frigid Sunday morning and I was there, on the roof of a nearby building, escorting photographers. Here are five things I thought about:

1. That was cool to see and amazing they could do that with all those other buildings around it. And loud too.
2. See that building with the symbol on it at the right of the video view? That's the Arkansas Cancer Research Center. I was on the roof. Great view of the implosion.
3. Boy was it cold. Temps in the teens.
4. It was neat hearing the stories of those who lived in the dorm over the years.
5. Now the fun begins. Watching UAMS build a hospital expansion and other projects that will transform the campus and the future of health care in Arkansas.
