Exactly! When he said that I just started laughing. Anyone who sees my posts, is well aware how pro-preservation I am in 95% of cases. This one is one of those 5% unworthy cases... I love brick pre-war buildings, but the best ones that haven't been converted at this point are in the neighborhoods, not downtown. My heart hurts every day I'm driving around McKinley Park, Back of the Yards and other southwest side neighborhoods where we are letting these beauties crumble away. Those are the buildings we can point to your average person and go, "Look! That's our history dying, but we can turn it into something better and give it a new life if we don't ignore it!"
Just my two cents/rant
