how's book tower holding up?

have the new owners stepped up and made sure the building is at least secure? was the water pumped out of the basement?

There's been a security guard staffed on the ground floor for the past four or five weeks now. The building is also sealed tight.

Yes, the pump trucks have been sitting outside for a couple days, other work has been going on the past couple days, there has been security in it for most of April, and.... well, just sit tight.

go to flickr and visit the Usual Suspects. you'll see just how "sealed tight" the book tower is.

I'm going to the Michigan Building today [[4/30)... so thanks for the reminder... I'll bring my camera along and get some photos with some interesting perspectives of the backsides of the Book Tower/Building from one of the upper floors of the [[nearby) Michigan Building.

Also, I'm gonna try and see if I can take some photos of the upper parts of the United Artists Theatre and UA Building from as high a perspective in the [[next door) 13 story Michigan Building as I am permitted.

I'm curious to see if the United Artists Theatre roof really has been repaired.

I've been keeping the folks at the Theatre Historical Society informed on the mysterious goings on at the United Artists Theatre/Building.

At least they're not destroying stuff like they usually do.
