ExiledInIllinois Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 You'd think the City would just tear it down. Or who ever owns it, force them. Looks like a safety hazard. What else could really go there...Butts up against residential... Not gr8 residential to say the least... But looks like people are living there. Turning it into a vacant lot.

TBBills Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Is it just that one building or the who block b.c it looks like they are all attached.

I would knock it down and build apartment building... one that won't collapse (too soon?) Yeah. Zoned commercial. But, right next to it's residential. Probably better go all residential. The houses look kinda run down. Doesn't look viable for commercial. Who'd want to come down there to see a show. Looks sketchy. Then complaints of the neighbors, etc... Something has to give! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that the place has gone to ruin. It just went the way of the Fillmores E&W, Winterland, Whiskey a go-go, etc. Really, the place just needs to be taken down, it serves no purpose anymore.
