Vertigo58 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 So who wants to pitch in for a U-Haul truck full of fertilizer and park it in front of this baby? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20sGirl Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Resurrecting an old topic here. Does anyone know what's going up where the Beatty West building was? I was very sorry to see this one go. I had hopes someone could bring it back. I know it was considered run-of-the-mill ugly by many but I kind of liked it. (Without all that banner crap wrapped around it.) Please don't say they're building more lofts/condos. I think I'm just too sentimental to live here. HAA!
