Time has expired on the Palomino.

The last site of the shuttered nightclub, which played host to such country music acts as Trace Adkins, Gary Allan, Jo Dee Messina, Wade Hayes and David Allan Coe over its long run at two Owen Drive locations, was expected to be demolished by Friday.

The Palomino last operated from 2885 Owen Drive in a shopping center at Owen Drive and Southern Avenue. The country music establishment and the shopping center property had a history of shootings, fights, stabbings and other assaults, according to Fayetteville police.

The Palomino also was the scene of a 2009 murder.

The city of Fayetteville ordered the demolition of the Owen Drive shopping center in October 2013. Officials said it had become an eyesore. But the authorization to level the structure was delayed to allow Parker Pawn, an existing business on the premises, to relocate.

The pawnshop moved across Owen Drive in the fall.

"This dangerous and unsightly structure has been a blighting influence on the Massey Hill neighborhood for years," the city said in a release issued this week. "Asbestos removal is complete and the contractor, Greenway Waste Solutions, plans to start taking the structure down this week."

The demolition cost is $291,411, which will become a lien on the property to be collected through foreclosure or when the property is sold, according to the release.

On Thursday morning, a couple of Cat heavy equipment excavators with claws were busting down other parts of the old shopping center. The walls of the Palomino were still standing, but project manager Frank Johnson said he anticipated that section of the building being razed over the next couple of days.

Those who frequented Fayetteville's nightlife during the 2000s may recall the Palomino was separated by a long wall from the South Beach nightclub. Both operated beside a Family Dollar store that, three years ago, moved into a free-standing building in front of the shopping center.

Former students and teachers from John Marshall High School have been meeting day and night for weeks at the old school to reminisce as demolition begins on the 65-year-old building.

From 1950 until 2006, the school held students at the 20-acre property at 9017 N. University Ave. until a new building was opened.

The old school is being torn down to make way for Marshall Square, an apartment complex that was approved by the Oklahoma Planning Commission.

The building is covered in graffiti and holds memories for more than 50 years of graduates. Some people hauled away bricks, lockers and other items as mementos.

The place of all these wonderful memories wont be here anymore, said Barbara Atkinson, a graduate of the class of 1971. This is a place that gave birth to the completion of many, many dreams for many, many people.

Many of the people who have visited the school over the past two weeks said they were sad to see the old building go.

I wanted to drive here for the last time the route that I took from my house in high school, said Linda Wright, a graduate of the class of 1966.

Other people shared stories of how their dreams, loves and lives began at the school.

Youve heard all the stories about how John Marshall people are so successful, and when I came here that was still the tradition, said Vallen Cooks, who served as principal from 1992-2001.

Takahiro Iwasaki: Reflection Model.

EXPERIMENTA: RECHARGE

With a contemporary art landscape largely defined by its multiplicity of genres and technologies, you can't help but wonder about the enduring relevance of a technology-based arts biennale such as Experimenta, now in its eighth edition. What to make of an event that showcases video, light, kinetic sculpture, sound and other technology-centric works when they are already part of today's wider art lexicon? That said, good art is good art and while there are a few too many works that fail to transcend their tech-centricity, there are plenty that subtly broach the exhibition's thematic bearings of reinterpreting history through technology's lens. Khaled Sabsabi's vast 3D, 100-channel video installation composed of 70,000 layered photographs is an immersive and spectacular deconstruction of place, politics and propaganda, where Berlin-based group Korinsky's sound and sculptural installation pulses with droning energy and physicality. A sound and strobe light installation by Stuart McFarlane, Darren Verhagen and Toby Brodel, meanwhile, transforms and animates a simple wire sculptural object into a dynamic, ever-changing form.

TAKAHIRO IWASAKI: REFLECTION MODEL (ITSUKUSHIMA)

Advertisement

While one can't ignore the fastidious detail imbedded in Japanese artist Takahiro Iwasaki's prodigious architectural model of the sacred Itsukushima Shrine off the coast of Hiroshima, his series of sculptures created as a commission for the NGV resonate for their almost surreal optical and spatial effect. Suspended by wires attached to the ceiling, the vast wooden models not only quote the meticulous structural and architectural detail of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and its famed "floating" Torii gate, but physically mimic the reflections created by the water that surrounds the actual site. It's a simple but remarkably powerful device. Iwasaki's levitating sculptures use fastidious realism to recreate a perceptual conceit that is the divine work of both architecture and nature.

Until April 6; NGV International, 180 St Kilda Road, city, 8662 1555, ngv.vic.gov.au

A federal agency is accepting bids to renovate the judge's chamber inside the Donald S. Russell Federal Building in Spartanburg.

A federal agency is accepting bids to renovate the judge's chamber inside the Donald S. Russell Federal Building. The estimated cost to overhaul the 3,040-square-foot office area is $1 million to $5 million.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is accepting bids through Wednesday.

According to information posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website, renovations include the abatement of hazardous materials and a complete redesign of interior spaces and installation of new finishes.

Included in the redesign are new wall, floor, and ceiling finishes; lighting/power and data; door systems; custom millwork; signs; toilet and break area; and a sprinkler renovation.

GSA Public Affairs Officer Saudia Muwwakkil wrote in an email that GSA expects renovations to U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Henry F. Floyd's chamber to begin in April and take six months.

The renovation will include lead and asbestos abatement; new mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire suppression system installations; and other work needed for better maintenance and use by the Circuit Court, Muwwakkil wrote.

The Donald S. Russell Federal Building was built in 1931 and originally housed Spartanburg's main post office, federal courthouse and offices.

The Spartanburg Herald Journal reported that the Georgian Revival style building was constructed for $360,000 more than $5.6 million in today's dollars when adjusted for inflation.

The first cases were heard Dec. 9, 1931, with 20 people pleading guilty to violating then national prohibition laws.
