I like the eagles.
P.S. Are those Streetcar Tracks!?! That’s two things they should bring back.
when pigs fly will the Navy Yard Boys Only Club restore this building to its original grandeur.
even if the total cost was $99.99, they would spend it on something else.
Are those newsies? The glories of child labor!
Fortunately, most of the structure is there. I’m looking forward to seeing the restored entrance. Thank goodness they were too lazy to tear everything down, and only boxed it in with that horrible wooden shell.
The entrance is scheduled to be completely restored I believe.
