Comments

  • Building designed by I.M.Pei
  • Supposedly one of the country's first "urban renewal" projects in the 60s (back when bulldozing a couple of blocks of homes and businesses in favor of apartments the old residents couldn't afford was considered a good thing...) that vaporized much of the commercial strip that made Hyde Park interesting (and, OK, dangerous). But Good Lord is it boring now....
