It’s been a ball (and chain)

Our world-class local demolitions industry is in the doldrums, even though

sooner rather than later.
Structures are usually demolished because they have reached
the end of their safe lifespan, but some stadiums, especially
for Olympics, are built for almost immediate obsolescence.
