If it were somewhere out near Joliet on the old Route 66, fine. But it has no business in downtown Chicago.

The owners clearly don’t think it has any architectural merit, or they wouldn’t have erected billboards.

Given the lack of other examples it does not offend me.

There is no compelling reason to tear it down.

Would you say the same thing about the last standing Gas Station, Walgreens, or strip mall downtown? In my opinion the building is garbage and taking up a prime buildable lot.

Clearly different opinions on this one...
