Pevely Dairy complex to be demolished

Post by indolence73 »

The Planning Commission voted to reverse the St. Louis Preservation Board's decision to save Pevely. SLU will be allowed to demolish the entire Pevely complex.

Biondi comes in and makes some idle threats and probably throws a little money around and the Planning Commission totally caves. What is the point of even having a Preservation Board if the Planning Commission can just over rule them? I wonder if the Preservation board can take them to court over this?

No kidding. I hope they can do something but I bet they won't. I can't imagine reversing the reversal.

Biondi is a priest who tans, rides around campus on a golf cart, collects pseudo-homoerotic fascist art, feeds his yip dog fiji water and fires laborers for speaking to him. F*** that guy.

Not a huge Biondi fan either...

I guess the fact that the complex is on the National Register Of Historic Places doesnt mean shit eh?

I am off work Saturday so I might head down there to get some photos.

Unfortunately it happens quite often.

The one that still makes me sick is the Coral Courts Motel. :(

I know of at least a couple people here who have. I have not, but still want to.

A kickass exploration despite the fact that it's mostly gutted.

Editorial note: my pics of it suck. Not real happy with my skills that day..
