T or C is resistant to gentrification. The town seems to have a magical quality of bring to each person who moves here exactly what it is they need, like it or not. Some find themselves immediately expelled by an unnamable force. Others drift comfortably into what they quickly call home. In spit of this, structure is not resistant to change. A landmark building called the Buckhorn was demolished the other day. This came just after it actually started falling on it's own. The spectacle was enjoyed by townies as though a long awaited last episode to a good TV series. Here's a film posted to
YouTube.

Sorry to see it go. I drank heavily there when we lived in Tor C in the late 70s.
Any of the wood salvageable? Would be a shame to landfill it.
i think things were plucked, it is certainly not up to us and as you may imagine people were kept a safe distance while they took it down.
