If there are any other buildings they want to save, don't wait until the wrecking ball shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't just go campaigning to save every historic building when there are no plans for their demolition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I saw the guts of the building half way demolished, parking structure, some old bricks, IMO not too much to be sad about, if Chevron actually does something with this block that would be cool. Don't really see why they would knock it down just to grow grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
