A friend lived on Jefferson and took me twice. I would definatly like to go back for pictures. There is a wooden locker room type area. A large cafeteria done in small tile with two huge vault doors. A courtyard with a large tree sculpture in the middle reaching to the building. It was like catacombs in the lower levels. I can go on and on. Amazing.

I know that this is a historical site and they have to restore a lot of things as they were but I doubt that the inside will look the same as you seen it because there are a lot of changes going on inside, there are walls where there were none and also openings in the brck where there were none... I hope they leave a lot intaked, but it will never look like it did inside like in the early days.

These developers are in the profit making business and are no concerned with anyone's quality of daily living. We have been robbed of the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of our homes for more than a year and will continue to do so for a long time to come. There are elderly citizens, who have lived in this specific area for decades, and the dust from this building as well as the surrounding work area (West 7th Street) causes chocking and coughing to the extreme that they gag and vomit. The dust has caused damage to our electronics, clothes and other personal property. The noise is mind blowing - causing headaches, hearing problems, the inability to hear TVs, radios, and makes it even difficult to have a telephone conversation. The clambanging from the metal on the street makes it impossible to sleep day or night. There are people that work two (2) jobs and are going to work with little to no sleep as it is. It is hot, muggy and sticky and most of us do not have air conditioners and being on limited income cannot afford them or pay for the electricity to run them and we are forced to keep our windows closed to maintain even the slimmest relief from the noise and dust. We should not be forced to live this way - it is cruel and inhuman. Children have been put at risk with the unsafe conditions left in front of the building with out safe guards. This whole mess is abhorable. The street work that caused such intolerable conditions was done without permits and the work was finally shut down by an inspector. This does not say much for the owners and developers of this project. Even if improvement is good - in this case the price being paid is too high. The quality of life is the greatest wealth one can have. Ours has been taken.
