To all those who for years have asked for this structure to be torn down, this is a definite "watch what you wish for, it may come true."....   All the pushing for something to be done, all the calls made to attempt getting your wishes and this is what you ...and we ... get.. Another parking lot...but not,  as this one will still have an ugly two story, half done looking parking garage on it.  I would rather have that half burnt empty building that may some day have been a nice place again than a half aXX parking garage that will be there for ever!

I don't want another parking lot. What can be done with it? Anyone know? In it current state of decay it seems hopeless for the structure.

Here is a shot provided by a really good photographer who has posted many shots (mostly surfing but some more diverse) on surf-station dot com MB St Auggie

More great shots

There are some really great shots of the Park View Inn as well as a closed steel manufacturing plant (as he described it) somhere west of town. Maybe someone could identify it too?

The steel plant is the old National Wire Southeast (?) mill on West Church Street.  It's directly north of JTA's property and a part of the plant has been built over the old S-Line ROW.

Good call, Lake. I remember delivering mail there when i first started at the Post Office. I believe it's been vacant about 8 years or so.
