We can put some people to work doing the demolition work and leave a blank slate for something appropriate in the future. <br /><br />If you try to adapt an incomplete building to something else its always going to look adapted. Besides, that would probably cost more than demolition. <br /><br />I prefer to erase it from memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-10236197802356504682010-01-14T09:50:10.564-06:002010-01-14T09:50:10.564-06:00Waterview is on the northwest corner of Clark and ...Waterview is on the northwest corner of Clark and Wacker.Lynn Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759748613223711212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-77541735232045936302010-01-14T09:47:07.898-06:002010-01-14T09:47:07.898-06:00i think they should finish what they started ... t...i think they should finish what they started ... the finished tower will be a beautiful building, and the timing for completion now will be better than before (post-saturation point). they need to first settle all liens on the property & get it in the hands of someone capable of finishing it.Eddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069769352345075395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-83984771045912308072010-01-14T09:21:49.664-06:002010-01-14T09:21:49.664-06:00I don't know exactly what should go there, but...I don't know exactly what should go there, but allowing it as a parking garage would be a huge loss for the loops. Adding additional parking in the loop will only encourage more people to drive into the already congested area and undermine the usage of public transit. I believe This option should be discouraged at all costs. <br /><br />Theoretically, had the building been completed, the parking would have been used primarily for the occupants of the building. This would have reduced the negative impact on the loop, although it certainly would not have removed it completely.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874328760407295804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-71510185413451156072010-01-14T09:16:43.194-06:002010-01-14T09:16:43.194-06:00I believe this is a great opportunity to create an...I believe this is a great opportunity to create an arts & music venue for Chicago. This space most likely has a very interesting spatial and acoustical quality, something that should be explored.<br /><br />I have witnessed many arts & music festivals in Europe that were held in large parking structures, underground bunkers, abandoned warehouses, large tunnels, etc. The experience was unforgettable and the music was exceptional!<br /><br />So my solution for the partially built tower is to hold art and music events there. This is a prime opportunity to explore the benefits of this concrete mass with a wide range of music. It is a vertical playground that can revitalize the arts & music scene in this musical city. <br /><br />Its central riverside location can be a focal point for a kaleidoscope of sound and culture.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984491201350314233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-55718436594843485862010-01-14T08:25:55.395-06:002010-01-14T08:25:55.395-06:00where exactly is this structure located?
