Here are some photos (click on image for full resolution) taken this morning- showing workers beginning to demolish the old Bannister Mall.
The majority of the visible demolition is taking place on the north end of the mall- where the old Jones Store was located.
The site is slated to become a new Kansas City Wizards soccer stadium- surrounded by new office- retail & residential construction.
I'll keep you visually advised on this stage of the Bannister Mall game.

Did they at least let salvagers have a go before they started wrecking the place? From the pics I've seen there is a lot of reusable material in there.
I can only assume they did Mark.
It was my understanding that people were going inside and ripping-off what they could (copper wiring) anyway.
That is lovely brick on the outside tho- would make a fine walkway- patio or new house.
BTW- I'm going up there with the media circus this afternoon for more pix & maybe some video of the festivities...
Cheers-
Groucho.
I've been told that they are recycling the material from the mall.
