The Jones Cable building has seen better days from a business perspective, with the parent company having sold off its cable business a couple of decades ago and thus losing the need for a headquarters structure. But it was still a very cool, modernish building along I-25 that I passed by regularly.<\/p>\n

Cool demolition videos in the attached article (and, an autoplaying TV station, alas).<\/p>\n
