Despite what many posters on this blog have said, they didn\'t know the history of the building, the architect, or the style, and chose, instead, to chide those who had worked very hard to save it.  Whether or not anyone loved it, or hated it, it is beyond disgusting that BENAROYA used their inside contacts with the mayors office to get this demolished quickly.  Benaroya refused to talk with those who were trying to still save the building, and yet, they felt \'mistreated\' during the whole process.  IF they had worked with the community, instead of being antagonistic, perhaps this building could have been saved, and moved to another site.  It could have happened, and  I hope that they won\'t be able to rent out the condos or retail, and it sits empty for a long, long time.</div>\

They were \'surprised\' at the outcry for this building, and from the initial plans and Design Review Board meetings, what is being planned is just like all of the other condo/mixed use buildings going up in Ballard.    And, considering that Ballard is already HALFWAY to their goal of new housing- a goal that was for the year 2020, it would seem that they would want to talk with the community to see how they can best meet the needs, rather than their own greed.  Yet, Rhapsody, and Benaroya- the building owner, preferred to push ahead with the demolition.  Rhapsody and Benaroya could care less what the community thinks, or what they might want there.  Look for Subway, Nail Salons, Starbucks, and Desert Tan.<br><br>If they had bothered to listen to the community, it could have been a win-win solution for all involved.  There are those that tried, and kudos to them.</div>\

Too many wanted the darn thing gone, and I don\'t think any plan that included the building would have been satisfactory. Let\'s face it: the vast majority thought the building ugly (myself included) and only a few thought (hoped) it should be saved, purely on emotional/nostalgic grounds (myself included). I laughed the day the landmarks board designated it because I knew it didn\'t have a chance over the long run, and I think thats true for a lot of folks. <br><br>There\'s still plenty to love about Ballard that includes both the old and the new. <br><br>I am going to be interested to see what is in the new building. All of the standard places we have plenty of (nail salons, Starbucks, Subways, etc). Not sure how many more the area can sustain! So I am optimistic. Cautiously.</div>\
