Down In It, from WUGA, Athens

If you've been downtown lately, then you know...The Saye Building is gone.

Beginning in July, a construction crew slowly began demolishing the 100-year-old Saye Building. The demolition of the Saye Building marks the end of a years-long battle between commissioners, residents, and the building’s owner over its fate - and the bottom of the rabbithole.

Find out what's happened since the last episode and discover some reforms the Athens-Clarke County Government has made.

Also, click through our photo gallery documenting the demolition of the Saye building over the last several weeks:
