Destruction of Lansing Civic Center, 1999

This is hard to watch...the demolition of the Lansing Civic Center in 1999.

SO many great shows, events and concerts filled that place. Does anyone remember the reason for tearing it down? Who/what benefited from the destruction?

Watch the above video, take another look at what they did to the Civic Center and remember it fondly for what it was and what it gave us from 1955-1999...
