Sounded like it was going to rip right off the facade. I did see a small piece of it fall off a few months later. Going to miss it, but wish it had been better maintained.RyanAvenueAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11884582401075848699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29430861119399557492014-07-30T15:12:20.147-04:002014-07-30T15:12:20.147-04:00Every time I saw that sign I wanted to eat a Whopp...Every time I saw that sign I wanted to eat a Whopper. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-56691555284530745242014-07-30T14:56:57.584-04:002014-07-30T14:56:57.584-04:00I guess we can assume the mid-century facade is no...I guess we can assume the mid-century facade is now landfill somewhere. This building is actually 19th century and was an important building for the German American community. I saw pictures of it and info on a preservationist / history website not too long ago but sorry forgot the name.

Yes we do.aveaisessexhttp://wheeeeeeee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-44758606174942214942014-07-30T10:36:37.708-04:002014-07-30T10:36:37.708-04:00Riiiiiigghht...Riiiiiigghht...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-91519397951163984242014-07-30T10:07:01.094-04:002014-07-30T10:07:01.094-04:00pickerspickersEna Paul Kostabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784424686939385970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-25253459341247199752014-07-30T09:13:46.195-04:002014-07-30T09:13:46.195-04:00This was too good to last, expect a corporate stri...This was too good to last, expect a corporate strip mall appearance to the building going forward, I'm depressed now.
