The Saskatoon building that washome to the Golden Dragon Chinese restaurant for many years, and more recentlyThe Hollows restaurant, was demolished on Friday.

The Hollows closed earlier this year, after learning the building's owners had decided not to spend the money to bring the structure up to code.

When the restaurant closed, Hollows owner and chef Christie Peters saidit was disappointing to have to leave the old Golden Dragon spot, on Avenue C S. at 19th Street W.
