The last big "project" I was working on before the hiatus in 2015 was documenting the demolition of this building in photos and videos. To me, in many ways, it represented a lot of the choices made over the entire length of the highway over the years, a sacrifice of history for cost and convenience, and I was looking at making the story of this building one of the main plot lines of the feature length documentary.
However, that is when a lot of life started happening, and everything CRH related got put on pause for awhile.
As I've mentioned elsewhere, I am not sure if I will be moving ahead with the film or not. First things first, and getting this site put back together is my only real focus at the moment on CRH material. However, whether or not I continue onto the film at some point down the road, I should still have a lot of that material available depending on the whether or not my hard drives from back then survived (it's looking likely) and, after the rebuild, getting a lot of content from those drives to the website will be the next priority, so I'll hopefully have a lot more to share on this sad story in the future.
