Earthquake Victim

The beautiful building above is not really all that old.  It was built in the 1970's and has already been declared "unsafe" and closed for good.  It is to be demolished in the near future.  Why?  After the first earthquake outside Mexicali last spring, a crack was noticed somewhere on it.  The second Mexicali earthquake widened that quake, the experts were called in and the building was closed up.  Everyone that worked in that building was moved out and everything, including a computer lab was moved out to other buildings.  A new library building was being built but was 6 months behind schedule.  The infamous "they" evidently put a rush on finishing it because it is now open.  I am really sad to see that building sitting there abandoned and obviously feeling lonely.
