My OperaThe Side of a Building on L Street (Updated!)

The editor has gone by the corner at Ninth and L (where Central Lock used to be) many, many times over the last thirty years, and has always been fascinated by the side of this building.
He went down to the signing of the Convention Center Hotel bill (August 12) and took pictures of the event. Nice pictures, nice people and all, but not really exciting enough to make a post. But he had the camera along and finally got the picture he wanted. For years he's walked past this corner and said that he should get the camera and come back, but something always came up.
The outlined stairways are the last remaining shadow of the building that was there. One can almost imagine the inside of the place. Soon that will be gone.
Update!
Si Kailian sent along a couple of L Street pictures. Bad spelling is noticeable, of course, almost as bad as this blog! Hope these are left alone for a few years to welcome the Convention Center Hotel. It would give the people from Des Moines something to talk about when they get back home.
