Brainstorming Session for the San Luis Apartments Parking Dilemma begins now!

If it would please you, post in the comments section your ideas for satisfying the demands of Rosati-Kain and the St. Louis Archdiocese for parking in place of the San Luis Apartments, pictured below (thanks, as usual, go to Ecology of Absence for the photo). You may think demolition is appropriate, or you may offer some innovative strategy to avoid adding a surface parking lot, however "green" it may be, to a prominent Central West End corner.



28th Ward Alderperson Lyda Krewson wants some suggestions (another email job--see similar post below).

I will update the post with your suggestions and will credit you, the ingenious solutions-guy or gal that you may be. (Translation: for once, I will shut up and let you do the talking!)

Your input will help fill my response email to Lyda Krewson. You could quite possibly be the messiah to Taylor and Lindell (Christian pun not consciously intended)!

Could they build a Walgreens with underground parking?

Hmm...If I take that seriously, I would have to say that the Walgreens on Lindell at Whittier seems to be doing just fine...

But that one is too far for the people in the San Luis Apartments to walk to! lol
