I know its great news, but we've only won the first battle, the war is only half over. EVERYONE who works downtown should show up to this meeting and make it known that tearing down a Goldberg is like tearing down a Wright or a Sullivan building and far worse from a historical perspective than tearing down a Wrigley Building or a Tribune Tower.

The structural components of the building exist almost nowhere else in the world. This is the largest and one of the only examples of a cantilevered arch in the world. This is more structurally unique and complex than the St. Louis Arch, the Pantheon, and many other engineering landmarks.

Let's make a strong showing and help finish the job!
