Coming down piece by piece.
Demolition is continuing on the charming old Downtown YMCA building, which is nestled among modern skyscrapers.

The insides are being exposed now -- empty rooms, wall signs, even the scoreboard for the basketball court.

It can all get pretty creepy-looking, as these pictures show.

Youngstown, Ohio proudly renovated their Y to including thirty apartments for low income people.

And we here in Houston tear our Y down to the ground making-way for new, I guess.

Not everything has to be new!
