Building where Marc was born goes up in a cloud of dust

Baptist Memorial Hospital (central- downtown – whatever) is officially no more. This is the hospital I was born in. Around thirty years later I would work there too for about three months until BMH’s corporate offices had officially moved out of the building. Sometimes I really miss Memphis. This is one of them, just because I would’ve liked to see this thing happen.
MEMPHIS, United States (AFP) – Demolition experts detonated over 800 pounds (360 kilograms) of explosives, toppling a million-square-foot, 21-story Baptist Memorial Hospital where
Elvis Presley died.
Oh yeah, like the article says, some dude named Elvis died there too….
