I would rather live there with it looking like it does........nothing like character  |
I hate seeing the old places demolished, too...but this area had its problems over the years. The nightclub next door called "My Cottage" had a liquor license for 1,400 people. And on weekends it was always invaded by the university kids - standing room only with a hundred more lined up outside to get in.
Basically the surrounding residential neighbourhood had become a big urinal and vomitorium... homeowners were getting rather fed-up with the drinking, noise, vandalism, violence, etc.
I worked the area on weekends and saw much of it firsthand. It was a cesspool.
