It's great to see pictures and read about it a bit. I wish the building was still around, it sounds fabulous.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10522968209071177409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-87672979425658102482012-10-11T09:26:52.584-05:002012-10-11T09:26:52.584-05:00I used to walk by that building all the time in th...I used to walk by that building all the time in the years before it got demolished. I always wanted to urban explore a building, and once I saw it getting demolished, realized that coulda been a great one. Now the only thing left is a pipe that sticks up 6" above the middle of the sidewalk. At least now they have added trees and bushes to the property line. I had such high hopes for Park Michigan and 1000 Michigan that would've faced Grant Park in the other vacant lot south, and yet neither got built. Quite unfortunate as they both looked better than half of what's built now a days.Brianbobcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762299406023279109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-66252947104609963222012-10-10T12:48:19.730-05:002012-10-10T12:48:19.730-05:00Oops!

The lot for 830 doesn't even have bushes - just an ugly fence and dirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
