One funny thing I've noticed is that every historical conservation conservative has come out of the woodwork to say that the Dunsmuir Hotel was a place of great opulence, but I've yet to see a single photograph of the so-called opulence of the inside. Guess it wasn't worth taking any pictures, huh?
You joke, but they did this successfully in Edmonton with their City Centre Airport, which is now a mixed-use community - although they are having a hard time preserving a 1940s airplane hangar.

Walking along the street seeing rowhomes and a red and white control tower next to a playground is dang cool.
