Don’t worry– The Aud won’t be far away. Mike Healy reports that about 90 percent of the steel from the Aud was recycled, as was the concrete. “It’ll be crushed and used as road base all around Western New York. You’ll be walking on it, parking on it.” And it won’t all be invisible. “The front steps from the east entrance, the Main Street entrance, all went to the Department of Transportation to be incorporated into the Route 5 reconstruction [at the Buffalo Outer Harbor Parkway project]. You can see that if you drive down there.” Most people who asked for a rock shared a story in return, justifying their connection to The Aud. Getting a workman to cross the entire site to get, say, a sound baffle, cost a bit more. About 24 Canadian beverages more. Healy broke down the price structure, “We didn’t want to exchange money because we didn’t think it would be proper, but if someone wanted us to make a special trip into The Aud to grab a piece of garbage, they could make a special trip to the store to get beer.” A fitting tribute to good times at The Aud most would say. Sparks reflect on the polished stone of the exterior walls. 7 8
