Oh yeah, I should have mentioned.  It was demolished.  I'm not sure when... 
quite a few were locked up in insurance wrangles for a few years but I think 
all but one of those were eventually demolished.

There are still a large number of parking lots in the central city but new 
buildings seem to be appearing each time I go in.

Cheers,
