Since you're going to keep harping on this issue, I'm glad they tore this piece of junk down. I live 5 blocks away and it was a dump. Other than being old, it was an eyesore and needed to be torn down. Kudos to Heller.

There's a commons sense line that I have for historic preservation and you seem IMHO to be way over to the side of my line. I love architecture...I took it for four years in high school and got into the architecture program at Cal Poly, but chose not to go. Architecture and photography have always been some of the things I really enjoy and keep up on. But when I hear people crying about this building being torn down, it just makes laugh because it was so not worth saving for almost any reasaon.

So by the end of 2009, instead of having a dumpy building (or temporary chain link fence - woohoo - let's bag on a chain link fence...), we'll probably have another cool MARRS like development. I 110% applaud this decision!

What old dumps are next?
