as i said before, not all opinions are created equal. the opinions of experts hold far more sway than some dude on the internet. historic preservation is not about what's pretty or ugly, it's about what is important.

shawn, i'm disheartened to hear your news, but I suspected as much anyway. NW simply doesn't care about chicago's history. it's a shame. and the same old myopia that has destroyed countless wonders of chicago's past repeats itself yet again. the powers that be never learn a damn thing.
