Nah, explosives probably weren't necessary. A lot of those old buildings will come down pretty easily if you just give them the right push with a backhoe. If I remember correctly, I think the old Earl Abel's building on Broadway was demolished in all of about 30 minutes.
I reckon they didn't need explosives either since the downtown crowd didn't complain of loud booming noises. The process did seem to go quickly. By the by, a few more photos can be found here.
I wanted to let you know about a story that might be of interest to your blog readers.
The Historic Blue Bonnet Dance Hall, known for giving country artists like George Strait and Clifton Jansky their start, is being transformed into the worship center of Journey Fellowship. Journey Fellowship is part of the Oak Hills Church, led by international renowned author and speaker Max Lucado.
