This one is located on Walker Road, just north of Tecumseh Road. Look at the front window, probably one of the few times, that glass block was removed and replaced with windows, as opposed to the opposite. 🙂

Oh, and just to add to the discussion of parking downtown: in Athens GA, where I just finished grad school, it costs twenty-five cents an hour to park at a meter downtown. If your time runs out you'll receive a three dollar ticket. Of course this means that it's hell trying to find parking downtown in evenings or on weekends, but you can bet your arse that the downtown's packed with people all the time.
Concerning the former Complex site at Chilver and Wyandotte (also the original venue for Brentwood and the first world headquarters of Walkerville Publishing, among other things)- looks like stucco and siding to me with some brick exposure, based on what is happening to the sides of the building. Business lofts going in there- good for the hood....
Thanks Chris. However as soon as Rosatti's sign went up on the building I knew a stucco shit storm was the destiny of the buildng.
Look no further than the affront to humanity they are responsible for on the old Tepperman's Building on Ottawa St.
They loves them some stucco!
As a side note, Western Tragedy also sent me an email that the crescent manor apartments under construction at Ottawa & Parent are getting prepped for a craptastic layer of stucco too...
^^So much for an nice pleasing addition to that streetscape with that crap stuck to the side of the building.
