                 Demolition of 
                  the Shore Theatre started in the first week of January, 2006. 
                  Over the course of the last three weeks Bernard of American 
                  Demolition Company methodically tore down and dissected the 
                  dilapidated theatre with the skills of a surgeon - picking his 
                  way from the back of the Shore toward Atlantic Avenue. The finale 
                  came this past Friday morning with the toppling of the theatres 
                  marquee. Many days I left my job early and at times took off 
                  the entire day to record the event and can tell you it was dramatic 
                  and quite heartbreaking... no need to say more - the following 
                  photos say it all.
