Wow, I really like that. Yes, that would be cool. I love buildings that try to add green space on their roof, also.

Three of these were closed thanks to the city bringing the hammer down on 'em.

Speaking of FBI stings, remember when they raided that restaurant in Buckhead that was supposed to be a mob hangout and they snagged the deputy police chief? The chief's defense was that at the time he was running his own private sting that he couldn't let anybody in on.

That's back when this town was popping.

Yes; the city narcotics squad took care of the Armory and Backstreet, as the city was unhappy with the owners' reluctance to sell.

Such a shame. Everybody loved those places, especially Backstreet.

And what did they put there? Some apartment building.

By the way, there's no reason parking decks have to be ugly.
