How many times did I wish I had moved there before the demolition in that area, how much more interesting and exciting that area would have been, talking to those that lived there during that time.
I also wonder what was in the area of where I had my condo/loft in Eliot Park, near the Metrodome, surrounded by a sea of parking lots. What was there before?
At least they built one building in that Gateway area that will survive WWIII. I had a massage client that lived in The Towers, who had bought 2 corner 2 bedroom condo's, and combined them at the end of the hall, to give views of the downtown skyline and the Mississippi River.
With all his money, why did he choose to buy there?
"They'll never build a building like this again (circa 1960) ever! 12 inches of concrete between the floors, and poured concrete walls between the units!"
Let's see a terrorist bomb try to take that building down!
