Old Carpet City on 15th/Delaware

[tulsabug]

It may have been just too cheap to pass up. Good location should we become a medical weed state.

Eh - that building has never been cheap. Early on the owner was offered like $1m for it by some antique place but turned them down and ended up asking more for it since then. I'm stunned that in this market he was given anywhere near that amount not to mention that there are much nicer buildings available for less that would suit a medical practice better.

Gonna miss the sign and the style of the building.

Pounding on the spine with the bicycle appears to have aggravated my discs some.  Plus the other bad stuff I did to them....

I think you're doing it wrong, I always thought your @$$ went in the saddle..not sure you're suppose to whack yourself in the back with the bike.

I can't actually see back there without a mirror, but the people who can ( and the xrays show) that the part on the saddle appears to be closely connected to the bottom four discs that seem to cause all the commotion.  Rat Bast&&rds!

It's actually a result of tight hamstrings and improper stretching.  Dead serious.  That kept me off my road bike for nearly two months this summer and I wound up having to use my mountain bike for road and off-road training rides.

I hope the new owner keeps the portico. It really makes the building.

Looked like it was being removed when I drove by yesterday.

[Hoss]

Hmm, barely done and you're crying 'fail'?  You might want to give whomever is renovating that building a little more time.

[hello]

The fail is that they removed the interesting part of the building. Sad. 

[we vs us]

Yeah, most definitely a FAIL. 

[carltonplace]

Yeah, most definitely a FAIL.  

Unless there was a structural problem I agree this is a fail.

[jacobi]

I wish our city had burocratic gremlins to hunder people from doing this sort of thing.  Instead we have burocratic gremlins that hinder multi-story, multi-purpose, no parking development.  Sigh...


When is the zoning code reform supposed to be finished?

+12 on the missing portico being an awful choice. I get more votes because I have to drive by it every day.

[Red Arrow]

At least the store front has windows along the sidewalk.

It looks dull now. However note the stain on the wall from where the roof attached. Without adequate drainage of that roof it could have been causing structural damage. Also it looked cool but as far as usability it was questionable.

I miss it already.
