A 28-story long-abandoned see-through Downtown hotel demolished for the views — but: the underground parking will be spared. (Phew!) Also: finishing off the Ella Square Apartments, and no more swimming at Candlelight Trails.

5134 Lindsay has been a vacant lot for at least the past 5 years. What gives?
This is not the first time that the COH permit office has been extremely s-l-o-w in publishing demolitions. The reason why is anybody’s guess. Can’t be because they’re
“overworked and underpaid” can it?

Days inn, but that’s merely semantics.
