Yet it’s still one seriously ugly building.

I remember when people said that art deco buildings like the Continental were ugly.

My father remembers when people said that Victorian houses in Lafayette Square were ugly.

Tastes change.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, and esthetic values subjective, but this building, while experiencing its own renaissance from a well-conceived rehabilitation vision, could also provide a new spark along with the newly renovated Hotel Indogo (formerly Days Inn) to Lindell Boulevard and bring commercial excitement around the corner from well-established Euclid Avenue. The increased pedestrian activity (in addition to the flow toward the St. Louis Cathedral) would me a much more welcome result from the rehabilitation of this building than a surface parking lot ever would.

…Hotel INDIGO, that is…

Nothing is uglier than a parking lot.

Hopefully, no government funds were harmed in the making of this video.

We should establish a blog to serve as the exclusive outlet for gratuitously grumpy comments. No government funds would be involved, and it would save everybody a lot of time.

Gee Eddie, that’s what I thought the PD editorials were.

At this point, I would think you would welcome even grumpy comments.

Grumpy comments can be ok. It’s the gratuitously grumpy comments that are unwelcome.

They are pure self indulgence, a tedious waste of everyone’s time.
