That building is toast. But you know how much I like it when they knock down old, ugly shit.

Could there be a case made for architectural preservation? That center window is right smack dab in the middle.

Why no groundbreaking for the Rube?

I'm hoping for a re-design. I didn't particularly care for the prelim version unveiled last year.

I came across this and hope this is closer to what the final version will look like:

The Loop is getting a Blues Museum in 2019.

This is the real deal. Finally!

10 years in the making! So it is all concrete? Not concrete and steel. Sort of like Ancient Rome. :)

Most residential buildings are concrete, so it should be expected

Thanks! I don't know much about construction methods but I was googling things a bit and reading about the pros and cons of concrete versus steel versus mixed.

Here in LA you still see some wooden apartments being built--or maybe concrete on the bottom and wood on the upper floors (because it's shorter stuff--5, 6, or 7 stories).

But reinforced with rebar, so nothing like Ancient Rome.

Heh, was trying to be funny and embed "Wrecking Ball" but looks like it didn't work.

As of now the building is rubble and they'll probably have the site cleared by tomorrow.

Could Antheus' apparent issues affect Solstice or 53rd & Cornell?
