Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Good luck in trying to save the building.  I mean that sincerely. I want it saved for all the reasons  in the article.  A fear is that it gets demoed and FB pulls out of DT completely.

I agree that it should be saved. What's up with that ground floor though? It's looks almost like a Brooklyn NY semi-basement; with the shorter (than the rest) windows being close to the ground. Of course the cinder block filled in windows is used to keep people out of the abandoned structure. Usually first floors on structures like this have taller windows.
