Not sure what the problem is - that hardhat guy on the sign is giving us the big thumbs up. Everything is going to be OK.
They've been using those weird bubble guys for decades. Blech.
now, instead of the beautiful and comforting facade of the shoenburg, dancing with light and shadow as in the image above, greek-festival-goers will see yet another surface lot.
i'm going to be sick.

The Preservation Board agenda for the meeting when demolition was approved stated that the building would be replaced by a park space, which is almost as ridiculous as a parking lot since 1,200 acre Forest Park lies less than 500 feet west!
The rendering does show what appears to be the existing driveway and small parking lot that now exists behind Shoenberg remaining though. Either way, this building is being demolished for nothing.
The Central West End looks like Baghdad!!!!
^^^ yeah, that's the surface lot i was talking about. i can't wait to sit in the pocket park and stare at the concrete.

My friend who lives across the street and down a block or two noticed his neighbor trying to destroy the 2 old growth trees on Lindell in the easement by the curb (in front of his commercial prop) says he thinks the city will not notice it because there is so much demolition taking place in the area.....I will submit photos as soon as I get them.
