For those of you who fancy yourselves urban explorers, there’s a fun-yet dated video/TV documentary that showcases a number of majestic architectural wonders that the city has to offer. Although the video was produced before the Memorial Auditorium was demolished, there are plenty of current take-aways that are still of interest in this day and age.
The video features a bunch of throwbacks buildings – one that is no longer (video primer – The Aud), one that is in flux (Central Terminal), one that should be getting more attention (Church of Transfiguration) and one that has slowly been gaining some traction (The Silos).
Check out the following video and step back in time to get an urban explorer’s take on a few of this city’s prime restoration candidates. Fortunately the future for some of these buildings looks a lot brighter these days.
