Well, geez, Melani, ya know, I'd really like to get upset about that but I'm going to be busy fighting a 10-story building at 40th and Pine. I can only fight one building desecration at a time. Maybe Tom Lussenhop, Ed Halligan, Jeff Block, "Danny" DeRitis, Dave Adelman, Barry Grossbach, Mike Hardy, that blonde woman from 41st and Pine and the gang at the Spruce Hill Zoning Committee can help you.

Melani: Is the city demolishing it, or is L&I just notifying adjacent owners/residents that the demolition is taking place? If the owner is demolishing it, maybe we better be prepared for a proposal to build a high-rise that takes up both the lot it's on and the lot on the SE corner of 43rd & Baltimore. If a precedence is set at 40th & Pine, who can say how far it will go? If OK shoehorned onto the lot at 40th & Pine, the argument would be weak to stop it at the edge of Clark Park where presumably there would be lots of space for proper setbacks, parking, a drive to pick-up and drop-off people, etc. I don't have to reiterate the story of Pandora's box to suggest the implications.
