an eyesore falls

They're tearing down an eyesore in my neighbourhood. I don't know how long it's stood, but it's finally done.
To tell you the truth, I don't even know what purpose the building served when it stood. It had an institutional look to it, but it has always stood empty the entire time I've lived here—some 2½ years.
goodbye, eyesore
Knowing Tokyo's work crews, I expect the bulk of the building to be gone by Wednesday.
