just depressing

one of only two houses left downtown, this one on ellis street dated to the early 1880s and the other in near ruins on peachtree street --- and it's been wasted to create another surface parking lot

this has not been a good year for atlanner: the braves stolen, WRAS ruined, the useless demolition of this and other historic buildings including i.m. pei's first commission and the oldest african-american church in the city (for another damn football stadium to replace twenty-year-old one they will soon tear down), the proposed move of the cyclorama to buck-fukn-head from its location in grant park for nearly a century and miles from its civil war context, sale and probable demolition of the civic center, sale and god knows what of underground . . .
