That's too bad. The old building they want to extinguish is kinda nice.
Would make for a more interesting park feature if they rehabbed it into a bar / cafe, with outdoor seating around it.
Better than the monotony of granite-pavers-and-benches that is Bella Azbug Park.
Much as I think Van Valkenburgh was innovative 10 years ago, he's beginning to feel a bit like a ubiquitous one-horse pony. Preserving that building as a restaurant would've given the park a little bit of a refined, Old World / European feel...
