I took these photos years and years ago, now, at Tower on Grand. It just feels so weird to finally see construction after so many false starts. Still miss the old City Club building, though. At the time, it was the one of the oldest remaining buildings in town, and they tore it down for a few extra parking spaces.
That was a cool little building. In a different universe I could see the original portion still there, sandwiched between two skyscrapers. That being said, I can't say that I'd be arguing too much against its demolition even today if it still existed. It is a little sad that we had to see old buildings razed for new development on a street with virtually all surfacing parking with a bonus aging riverfront parking garage.

But, better days ahead, finally.
As you say, better days.
