050 Urban Renewal

 

I'd never been inside this building, but I knew it as the "Cthulhu Building," mostly because it had the "Cthulhu the Movie" written in huge capitol letters along the side of it. Secret "Speakeasy" parties used to be held there too, though I never made it to one before the gaming comission shut them down for good. The building must've been pulled down in the past few weeks, because it was there the last time I walked by (at 14th and E Union). Perkatory (a little cafe, with wooden adirondack chairs outside) once occupied the building that used to be next to this one, but that got torn down a year or two ago. The italian bakery across the street is also closed and awaiting either demolition or serious renovation.
