There's a part of me that simply wishes that city officials would come up with a different statement. They've used the exact same verbiage to rationalize every demolition since the Old City Hall came down in 1961."It's like this monster right in the middle of all this progress that's going on, so it definitely needs to be eliminated," said Karla Henderson, a group executive of planning for Mayor Dave Bing. "We have this one symbol that sits on the river that thousands of people see a day. [[Demolishing it) sends the sign there is a change, there's progress and hope. The mayor is clear he wants people to feel change."
