That Metal’s Twisted

Yow! That mass of steel left behind from the implosion of the New Haven Coliseum continues to make for quite a closing heavy-metal performance at the gateway to the city. Rebecca Turcio sent in a bunch of photos; following are more of hers, as well as others sent to date.
Click here to send in your post-implosion rubble photos. (Suggestion: Limit each e-mail to one or two photos so it doesn’t get returned to you.) And click here to see a Flickr photo display, with an interesting write-up, by “Oldangelmidnight.”
In addition to these photos, click on the play arrow below to check out a video posted on YouTube by “jjred86” interspersing an old Dick Lee mayoral campaign ad with the Coliseum explosion. And you can view shots we previously published of the implosion itself: photos and (awesome) videos.

Beautiful work jjred86. Wonder what Dick Lee is thinking now? Wonder what he’ll think when that lot remains a parking lot for a decade? Ahh, progress.

I took some pictures last year of the partially-demolished Coliseum and a couple on the day of the implosion. They are here:

These pictures of the ruined Coliseum please the eye far more than the wreck that once stood there.
The next eyesore to be removed—a suggestion only, since it belongs to Yale and not the city—is the School of Architecture on Chapel and York.
Weren’t the Yale architecture people the loudest voices in the clamor to save the Coliseum?

I did not think it was the most attractive building out there but it was unique and that in itself is why people may have wanted to save it.
All the great fun people had there .... be it with there friends and or family. There where a lot of good times and memories in that great metal monster.
PS you should see the new Yale building going up behind me. I thought it was going to be great. Yale school of sculpture ... it is a BOX. Where is the Old Ivy league School Style?? At least the Coliseum was a one of a kind.
may it rest in peace!
PS.If any of you guys doing the clean up find a bag pocketbook with silver studs my friend Sally left it there in the 80’s let me know!

Cedar Hill
Is this the construction between Science Park and the Grove St. cemetary?

No chapel, howe and edgewood. I was just outside and a passerby said the same thing what an ugly building.
