There's always construction going on at H.D. Cooke. Elementary a few doors down from us so it wasn't an uncommon thing to hear jackhammers and the like. However, it was 2 in the morning.
It was coming from that odd triangle building left of CVS on Columbia and 17th NW.
Out of all the random ass abandoned buildings I've seen around U-Adams Pleasant Heights, this one has by far the most potential. As you can see, its shape is really unique. It's also less than a block from my house so that really increases it's awesomeness potential.
However, my question is what the heck is it going to end up as? It used to be a Hispanic food market at some point long ago and the frames outside make it look like it used to be a movie theater. The lease on the door says "Retail/Commercial" for intended use. I love the specificity.
Me and my roomate Ryan are voting for a Black Cat-style venue. It's certainly big enough and the general feel of the building seems venue-ish. However, this could probably not happen due to the fact that its really close the townhomes adjacent to it on 17th and the noise would be a serious problem. You'd have to get some badass Auralex sound foam if you were going to pull that off.
All in all, I hope its not a Chipotle.
