Well, maybe it was influential in concept and later buildings were able to make the concept work, but I just don't get the love for this building. Like many of you, I had a list of buildings I hoped to live long enough to see demolished, and Prentice was right up there for me with the Apparel Mart (pre-Sun Times), the W on Lake Shore Drive with the exposed parking ramp and flying-saucer rotating restaurant on top, etc.
