County Building Scaffolding Coming Down

[Allan]

It took them long enough! $6 million & 5 years later the restoration is complete and the scaffolding is coming down.

UGH. $30K to $20K a month in scaffolding rental for 3.5 years while no work was being done while they argued what do do and who will pay for it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Allan]

Yeah. Maybe they should've just taken it down while they disputed who was going to pay for it. They could've saved the taxpayers a lot of money. I wish I could just squander money like that! $20,000 is almost enough to pay for one year of my college education!!

I can't wait to just be able to enjoy the naked architecture of this beautiful building. I'm new enough to Detroit that I don't recall ever seeing the building without scaffolding, except maybe once.

I honestly don't know what it looks like without the scaffolding, either. It probably won't even look right to me without it now, lol.

[Allan]

Yeah, as long as I've known the building there has been scaffolding on it. LOL.
