I don't know if anybody remembers it, but this entire property used to be Del Webb's Towne House, a fairly large hotel. It was always criticized as not fitting that site very well, especially with the disruption of the old street line and the parking lots. It also used to host many union meetings (such as my old Teamsters local) and seemed to have shady financial connections with unions and old Las Vegas, etc. When it closed and was reopened shortly thereafter as apartments, it was supposed to be temporary until the place was demolished. The apartments were terrible, simply rented with the cheap motel/hotel furniture still in place. I'll be very glad to finally see the whole thing obliterated and replaced with something dynamic and alive that greatly contributes to the neighborhood.
