Personally it's the things that were demolished to make way for the many highways through the city that I have a hard time accepting. Also, if you're going to demolish something amazing then you need to replace it with something at least a little bit impressive.
The Hudson's building I posted earlier hasn't been replaced...at all. In the 10+ years since it's been demolished, it still looks like this:
There were no concrete plans for redevelopment yet they put in support beams "just in case". Makes it look like some project that's been continually on-hold.
There are strong rumors that the site might be developed within this year, but rumors don't mean much until something actually happens. I hope if and when this gets developed, all that waiting won't be for a turd of a building.
That's what I'm talking about. I know Atlanta had more of a Historic develop core than Dallas and Houston But I also know something is not right with the amount historic places, they should have way more. Atlanta is not that much order than them. So post more about Houston and I want someone to post about Dallas, and etc. I feel this is a good way to understand the history and culture of cities and their neighborhoods.
Atlanta inman park, part of this neighborhood was razed to make way for a freeway that was stop because it would go through too many historic neighborhoods.
Copenhill was a neighbhood like Inman Park, That was completely razed for originally be a interchange. Also The Carter Center is cool to have but why there.
Are you taking about the destroy landmarks or my typos LOL.
But anyways anything in baton Rouge? I know a least Louisiana with all the history there. Is there anything Lost?
I'm talking about the lost pieces of architecture in this country. I'm not the preservationist in the least bit but it's sickening knowing these places were demolished for parking lots and other 70s style box buildings!
Once described as the most thoroughly equipped and scientifically built motion picture play house in the South, this theater replaced the old Columbia Theatre after its 1919 demolition.
The Columbia Theatre was the first theater in the United States to have lights lining the aisles.
It was renamed the Paramount Theatre around 1937.
The Paramount Theatre was demolished in 1979
