What Happened Here?

Wow, you miss a few days of going to town and a building disappears! John noticed the other night going to work that they were tearing down the Maverick building. He forgot to tell me about it until he called me late last night. This morning on the way home he said the building is all gone and just a few big dumpsters are left. I wonder why they tore it down, it was a nice building! Ever since they closed it, we have noticed that several times a year, guys have come and drilled holes in the ground all around the building, and we've wondered why. If the soil is polluted, looks like once would be enough to tell them that and where is new pollution going to come from? I wonder if that had something to do with the building being removed?
