"It’s really a shame to see this great old art deco building sitting abandoned and in a deteriorating state. This was originally a dry cleaning building and from the looks of it a very fancy one indeed. Today it is abandoned and deteriorating. Fortunately it appears to show signs of someone trying to secure it from vandalism."
"Cool historic building."
