Ambassador Cam, #18

Ambassador Hotel, 12/15/05, 10:30 a.m.

They've covered up the windows of the Cocoanut Grove. Perhaps it's best not to witness what's going on inside. (Much of the Grove -- which was already bastardized in the 1970s -- will be rehabbed and reused as part of the new high school being built. I'll be curious to see how they rework it.)

Meanwhile, most of the south wing still stands; I'm assuming we'll see much of it torn down in the coming weeks. Not sure if all of the hotel will be down by the end of the year, as originally planned, but we'll keep you posted.
