I just saw Knapp and Storms go down live online. Seeing the implosion made me sadder than I thought it would. I have a lot of great memories in Knapp from my freshman year. I lived in Elm, but a bunch of my friends lived out in Towers and threw the greatest parties. Good times, good times. It'll be weird driving home and only seeing two towers left on the Ames skyline. They were the first things I noticed about Ames when I visited Iowa State for the first time.

I watched it online too. Except my feed got cut off right afterwards.

I can understand, but man, those buildings were kind of a wreck.

Still, their outline on the horizon heading in from 151 was definitely a trademark of the campus.

Yeah, they were in shitty shape. It's pretty bad that a safety fence was erected around the walkways to keep chunks of concrete from falling on students even while they were living there. Everyone seems to have a horror story about getting stuck in the elevators too.
