An empty lot would be better than that. I guess it just takes a future buyer of the site to plop down the money to take the building down. <br />Thanks for the insight on where the posters were located.

You're right -- it does not make a good first impression. Why, oh why, would you shift your loyalties to OSU when Michigan State is going to take it all?! Come to the green side, Jack!

My local annoyance is the freeway from the airport to downtown. The freeway is the oldest in the Bay Area, is elevated so we can see all the ugly industry and train yards, and is bumpy as all get out. Makes me want a tall sound wall, preferably with boston ivy or wild roses. Maybe I should start a movement.
