As unsightly as that building was...at least it was a building, instead of a hole.

*But* I hope they keep it like that long enough for me to buy a place on the block at a cheap price. Once they build something in that shit-hole (pun intended) property prices will soar again.

Heh, i'm evil.

i loved that building. all the graf and decay aside, it was a really old, nice looking structure. i wish they had have chosen to renovate it. i think thats been discussed in other threads here, so i wont digress further into that area.

Oh that's a shame; I always liked that building and used to daydream about fixing it up.

WTF are they doing?! i loved that building, too.
