Your comment is awaiting moderation.

YoChicago deleted the following message on their Rogers Park feature:

"Although I am for progress, that last picture of the demolition site of the Adelphi Theater was an example of a historic building and viable business being destroyed wastefully"."It's been well over a year since the demolition, and the planned condo-project never happened. It's just a sad hole in the ground". - Bill Morton



So, I tweaked it a little bit for further consideration and re-posted.

"I am not opposed to progress, but the demolition of the Adelphi Theater (in the last picture above), was an example of wasteful destruction of a historical building and viable business.
It has been well over a year, and the demolition site is still an eyesore hole in the ground". - Bill Morton


What do you think? Are they going to delete my Rogers Park comment again?
