Why do things look smaller as they are being torn down? Lol

If you lived in them with a roommate you felt how small they were haha.

Anybody know what the story is with the second story on Stubbeman Village? It always seemed like the weirdest design. I couldn't ever figure out if it was mechanical stuff up there or if it was office space.

At least part of that was to accommodate movie screens, as there had been a twin theater for quite a while.

But you can see in this photo, they were hauling all types of junk out of that level (through the south door), so there must have been some offices:

Yes, it was a twin movie theater. In the 80s it turned into a series of clubs; notably Rome. Typically dancing on one side and live music on the other. I saw quite a few great shows there. Nine Inch Nails, Book of Love, Smithereens, Echo and the Bunnymen, local faves like Nixons, Flaming Lips, Chainsaw Kittens, many others. Lots of great memories there. I'll be pouring one out for the old girl.

And adult films in the late 70s and early 80s.

The theaters were called the Satellite Twin and were dead-center in the complex:

I remember Mr Bills fondly.

As you can see, the two north towers are now completely down. Hard to see here but there isn't much left of the SW tower. (This view is dead west.)

You can also see how they are separating the metal from the crushed concrete.

Stubbeman is still standing but all the windows are out and it's effectively gutted.

[FighttheGoodFight]

Almost knocked them all down in a month. Pretty impressive.

[Pete]

Moving fast now. Note Stubbeman in the background is quickly being razed.

The architect of that baptist student union building in the top left sure made some interesting choices...

Pete, love the drone shots. Look forward to future softball stadium updates

I thought it was something pixelized for a moment.

Aaaaaaaand it's gone. Lots of fun times in that building.

[Boop]

It is sad to see it gone but honestly, an much improved dorm is much needed
