up to now, i stll can't believe atienza opted to demolish instead of restoring the jai alai building. looking beyong the building's dilapidated state, it was pure art deco arch-gasm. i haven't heard of that plan to restore the metropolitan theater but if he's serious about it, every arch-lover in this country ought to be more frightened than happy.
