Can we just tear down the pavillions and start over?
What do the Pavillions and the Astrodome have in common? One’s an empty but beautiful structure that was once a bunch of parking lots, the other’s an empty but beautiful structure that will soon be a bunch of parking lots.
Didnt even know the Sky Bar was there. Been to the Pavillions a couple of times.
