  5. Old and boxy. That was the way of many buildings back in the day. I hope the building is given a new life with a much needed facelift.

    Have a fabulous WW. ☺

  6. I love these old buildings and it's a joy to see them re-purposed instead of torn down.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
