The inside is awful.  The outside is simply a concrete box.  Not sure what there is to like.

It would be a tremendous waste of valuable property to build a 1-2 story YMCA on the river.  If they sold the entire parcel they could probably build a Tah Majal YMCA across Riverside Ave, or as part of a big development on the Yates site. 

Bravo to Mayor Brown for making this call.   The exterior is nothing to write home about and the interior is worse.

Its embarrassing that he throws Khan's name out there like that.  The Y had been trying to sell that parcel and move inland but they could not find a buyer.
