The former AAA Building at 139 Bagley will be demolished supposedly beginning this week. The AAA Building was severely damaged from a fire started by acetylene torch sparks from the cutting of steel beams during the demolition of the Statler Hotel which surrounded the AAA on two sides. Legal disputes kept the property in limbo in the eight years since.

Removal the AAA is seen as a precursor to the construction of Village Green's planned Statler City Apartments which would be built on the block where the Statler Hotel stood and the AAA still stands. Village Green has been given the city-owned portion of the block for one dollar and is in negotiations to obtain the AAA site.


Adamo^ the destroyer awaits...
