Poor Deseret Towers

For those of you who are familiar with Deseret Towers, they are in the process of tearing those down. Deseret Towers are dorms for students on campus. They are probably at least 10 stories high. BYU is tearing them down because it appears that students want more of an apartment living situation. As I was out walking today, I walked past them, and they are working on one building. All of it is down except for three columns (that's my best descriptions) in the middle of the rubble. I was quite curious what they were. I studied and studied, and it ended up being a stairwell on either side of the building and the elevators. I really wanted to go up the elevators. I found it interesting they would tear the building down but leave the stairs and the elevator. It made me wonder if they were working, and I had a strong desire to go up them just to see what it would be like to have an elevator open up and nothing to walk out on to. But, alas, I am still sane, and it was just a fleeting thought.

You're too funny! That DOES sound like it would be fun, though!
