Oh, look. Two men, neither wearing safety glasses, one missing a hardhat, and the scaffold doesn't have toe boards. What was that about concerns for safety?

What unsafe practices, illegal activity or Area 51-style alien technology are these people trying to hide?
I seem to recall that when Home Depot decided not to proceed with a store in MLG the reason stated was that they determined that structurally the bleachers could not be removed because they were holding up the walls. Since the bleachers could not be removed they could not create an efficient retail space. I find it curious therefore that the current project underway has removed all of the bleachers. Until the new internal structure is complete I view MLG as a delicate egg shell.

If you look back at photos of the interior several pages back you'll see that the walls of the buidling has been secured with steel bracing throughout the interior. It's really quite an amazing feat of engineering if you ask me.
Here's a link to BlogTO with a few photos too
