Friend Gail and I attended this Piano-Bar like event at the Armory. Our hosts were full of fun and we got to sing along to a ton of showtunes.

The roof to 105 NW Park Avenue (once upon a time the home of The Emerson School) is gone, as are the windows. But the façade is still there. I really hope they reused those old-growth timbers in the ceiling.
The mural is still there for now. But not for long.
On the other end of the block, the very tall unreinforced masonry building is completely gone. That was the one I figured would slump onto our building, burying us, if there was an earthquake.
We need not worry about building slump during an earthquake now.
