Firstly, kudos to Hayward for the photos, a great little trip around the city.

They are the open air floors of the imbedded parking garage.

Same here, I just think of all of the old warehouses that once lined clybourn and have to shake my head. HOWEVER, ripping up a parking lot or a cheaply constructed strip mall is a piece of cake and tends to be an inexpensive option.
Im glad you threw in a streetview of a corner Bank... that building typology is maddening to me... its like dropping a bomb in the heart of a neighborhood. PNC is especially guilty of this (Addison/Ashland, Halsted/Wrightwood, and many more Im sure)

Looks good... but lets all pray that the architect figures out how to handle a corner before this starts going up.
