It took the better part of the morning... on into early afternoon to prepare for the moment.  It was a job that required double the power anyone had thought would be necessary.  In the end it lasted a total of 10 seconds to see over 100 years of history come crashing to the ground.  And it all took place exactly 24 hours ago.

The Cold Spring Granite smoke stack, located on the edge of the Sauk River in Cold Spring, MN, came crashing to the ground. The demise of this over 100 year old community icon represented the closure of one era, in preparation for the beginning of a new one for the people of Cold Spring.
