The picture above is that of a construction site at one of the corners of 17th and Poly. It used to be a filling station and garage, left over from the days when our oil companies thought it was necessary to have at least two stations if not more on every corner in every town in America.
There was no architectural merit to what was quickly knocked down a few days ago. I noted a sign suggesting that the replacement was going to be the office of several plastic surgeons, who are very crowded in the medical corridor, and I suppose to be closer to many of their patients in the West End they decided to move out here. Instead of corner taverns or filling stations we now have corner dentists and soon will have corner plastic surgeons.
The question I have is whether a plastic surgeon has to have a building that looks good architecturally speaking?

The picture was taken in June 08. In March 09 the corner looks exactly the same. Maybe there is a recession if a plastic surgeon can't get credit.
