So part of the South Ave garage collapsed today. I walk by that garage at least twice every week day. Unless you're an idiot, how could you not notice that structural instability in the area that collapsed? It was only a matter of time. The "supportive beams" that held those ramps up looked like a futile attempt to keep the garage open for business as I would hear jack hammers coming from some where in the garage.

Man. I was going to post on that, and on the armory Collapse in Elmira, NY*. Going to and from the main branch of the Library, I've also noticed the giant cracks in the garage. I can't believe that the collapse is a big suprise to anyone.
It seems the sky is falling in NY.
