Due to all the road closures and warnings from the media, we have decided to stay home and see the Trojan cooling tower implosion online at katu.com.  Coverage starts at 6:00 am with the blast being at 7:00 am.  Won't be the same as actually being there but at least we won't have to get up so early!  It looks like you need to live in view of the tower, or know someone who doe, to be able to see it.  I really don't want to get a ticket for parking on the side of the road to view it like they are warning in the newspaper.  We are disappointed but it's not the end of the world, of course.  We'll just have to keep a lookout for another building to be demolished, some where, some time.  We will miss seeing the great monolith looming on the horizon as we pass it on the way to Portland.  It was like a landmark, we knew we were getting closer to the big city when we saw it rise up out of the landscape.  It was eerie, ominous, brooding.  Oooooh!  It will seem weird the next time we drive to Portland, we'll all subconsciously look for the tall, black tower.
