However, there are many untruths in this article;

a. no big gapping hole in the roof. There are 3 - 4 skylights, of which, one is boarded up. None of them are the size of a Volkswagon either.

b. The building hasn't been vacant for 30 years. Its been vacant since 1986.

c. The Lincoln Park Preservation Alliance is not costing the City of Lincoln Park and/or its DDA thousands of dollars. It is in the DDA Act that DDA's are to contact the State Historic Preservation Office if they intend to make any changes to a building on the National Register of Historic Places. Its in the DDA Act under Historic Sites.

d. Demolishing historic buildings is not progress. Nor is adding parking in place of a continuous streetwall.
