The end of an era

As long as I can remember, the Gallatin Medical Center has been there on Paramount Blvd. (Of course, it's been abandoned for the last 10 years or so. See I wonder who won this dispute.)

But finally, the buildings are coming down, to make way for new medical offices including a multistory urgent and primary care facility.

Last week, the old buildings served one final useful purpose as the Downey Fire Department used them for some training classes. (See Fire control training.)
