No I’m not.

I’m not talking about the couple of buildings along the river. I’m talking about the surface lots and under-utilized land closer to the expressway.

Which are already preserved? There are lots of 19th century brick buildings in the area.

And if they’ve already rehabbed Presidential Towers, then they did a shitty fucking job. There’s still a blank wall on two sides of that parking garage, and so on. I walked past it on the way to dinner last fall.
