Trust me, if somebody had a viable plan to rehab these buildings than I'd be all for it. But that's probably not the case. The buildings have been stripped and squatted in and are completely open to the elements all year long. They are going to just sit there for 10 years and rot, and those are the first high rise buildings you notice when you are driving into downtown on I-75. Plus they are right across from the entertainment district and just off where the new light rail line will be built [[fingers crossed). I'm all for preservation in this city as we've already lost so many great buildings, but I feel we could do without these and put something else on the plot of land. I'm not aware of how many acres the Brewsters encompass but wouldn't you rather see new housing on the land, a retail center, or technology park there than a bunch of eyesores?
