Fascinating video, thank you for sharing. It's difficult to digest the mismanagement and errors that occurred throughout the whole south auditorium project, especially as it relates to the displaced persons. What a shame to see so many uninspired "modern" buildings replace such special older buildings. And the synagogue! smh.
Hopefully we continue to learn from our past mistakes and right the wrongs. Williams and Russell / Albina is a perfect opportunity for that. Let's see what happens.
