I was wondering when I was home for Thanksgiving 2010 if the 2 legendary towers on the hill on Georgia Ave in North Augusta may finally be coming down. I had heard that for years, these old towers (one behind the NEWS-12 (WRDW) studios and one behind the WBBQ/WZNY studios) have not been in use for years. And then, I noticed that shorter one behind 'BBQ is being dismantled. It's half the size that it was, the top looks like it's broken and the tower-lights no longer come on after dark. The taller one behind NEWS-12 remains untouched.
Those towers were there before i was born (1973)! I always remembered you could see the two towers from as far away as Washington Rd in Martinez. Always thought they were impressive. And when I was little and we used to have to go to North Augusta for anything, I would beg my parents to drive by the WBBQ/Ch.12 studios so I could get a closer look. Back then, you could actually drive behind the studios and get out and go walk up underneath them. I remember, i always thought that the big one behind NEWS-12 looked much like the
Eiffel Tower in Paris....(hehe). So, I just wanna know if they're actually being torn down or what the deal is.
It's only my speculation that they maybe coming down because, it would make sense, if they're just a waste of space and money. However, I haven't seen or heard any info on this. So, anyone out there that can maybe shed some light on this?
