Great shots, Michael!

Seeing as this is the 49th Ward of the City of Chicago, Dick'em Daley, Mare, I have a feeling that the scheduled demolition of this building was "helped along"!

They could have at least saved the facade, but that's not the way Ald. Joe Moore and his scumbag developer friend, Rich Aronson, work at all.

And just where were Wayne Frazier and his buddies this afternoon, hmm?

Oh, and BTW, a sarcastic shout out to Eva McCann and her partners at Wisdom Bridge, who allowed this building to rot away!

And yet another longstanding piece of Rogers Park history disappears....
