Photos ~ Toppled Wilson High sign
Although I have no kids of my own and most folks around here seem to focus on the re-opening of another local high school, I thought I'd give a shout out to all the Rams out there! Wilson High is under construction and starting to look good. We drive past the campus on Orchard all the time and have been eyeing the progress. The other day, Sarah urged me to stop by and snap some photos of the old Wilson High sign and reader board tipped on its side. It's a very sad reminder that sometimes there isn't room with "the new" to have something campy and old around. Hopefully the sign will be re-incorporated somewhere along with the schools shiny new diggs. Whatever the case, here's that old sign at least one more time in case it's lost.

I graduated from Wilson in '87 and used to change the letters on that sign. :) Can't wait to see what Wilson looks like when the work is done.
I also went to Jefferson Elemetary and Mason Middle School, both were rebuilt a few years ago and are impressive. Hope the same will hold true for Wilson.

You have quite a knack for demolition photos Kevin.

Dave: From what I've seen of the place, it looks pretty sleek and nice. They have some serious landscaping to do yet if they're hoping to open for fall classes. I'll be sure to let you know if they keep the sign you use to manage! ;)
Erik: I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not. ;)
