Arlington institution Dr. Dremo's closed its doors and auctioned off everything that wasn't nailed down back in January, but the building and its neighbors (the old Taco Bell, etc.) have stood empty since then, awaiting demolition to make way for a new condo development. Well George Whelan sent in these photos showing that demolition has finally begun. Most of the surrounding buildings are being taken down today, and one construction worker said he had been told they'd do the actual Dremo's building sometime next week. So, Dremo's fans, stroll by this week to take one long, last look.

AlertDC says a dynamite explosion is scheduled for 2 p.m. at 23rd and Constitution Ave. NW, where a building is set to be demolished. Any idea what building that could possibly be? If memory serves nearly that whole intersection is just baseball diamonds. No streets will need to be closed as a result of the demolition, according to the announcement. If you head down there with a camera, be sure to submit your photos to the DCist Pool.
