BREAKING-Hotel Dana nearly gone. Rush to 666 State to witness the final indignity of this beautiful building!

How very quickly these stately, stout buildings disappear! For 100 years it stood here, proud but recently infirm. Such a shame that landmarks such as this fall like dominoes, in this, the alleged architectural capital. Mr. Archibleckture wonders if perhaps this area might have felt once like a London neighborhood; now it is a 1960s vision of the future-tacky and cold. Ald. Natarus can be blamed for all the losses in his ward. Where was Preservation Chicago? What about those who assign the meaningless orange rating? For all these individuals and organizations, Mr. Archibleckture offers his "tsk tsk"! And if Mr. Archibleckture ever meets Natarus in person, he will offer the tasteless alderman a piece of his mind. Shame on you, Mr. Natarus, for almost single-handedly ruining this ward.

Painfully,

Mr. Archibleckture
