Great find, I love it
How far did they have to move it?
Just to the other side of the block. They really wanted to keep this building I guess.
thats insane! :O what an awesome capture. i mean...how often do you see a building that size moving acrossed any road?
wow... I wonder if I could get a couple of those to move myself after holiday dinners
They just move buildings. I don't think they perform miracles
hahaha..............pmsl......
great capture by the way.........you don't see this everyday
Yeah I know. It's rarely done. It was just dumb luck I was downtown at the time when they were setting it up for the move.
