What a sad waste of a building (and the others on the block). And it is Montagu without an E.

It's very unfortunate that it couldn't be renovated, like the Rice, and saved. *insert rant about "patio" homes*.

Link with another video angle and more commentary (where the name of the hotel is spelled Montague, idk which is right). http://www.khou.com/news/local/houstonmetro/stories/khou080120_tnt_montagueimplosion.40981cc5.html

Sweet shots! Man, I wish I had known they were going to demolish it this morning. I didn't have a hangover or ANYTHING.
