Damn man, I live next to there now in Daniels. 20 years ago there was a 27 story residence hall. There was a parking lot there last year, now it's a 50 yard practice field for football. Crazy.

@arothmanmusic I was in Daniels in 87 for a bit then lived a block away from Adriatico's right there before moving to gaslight with my GF. I too thought it had been down for ages.... I wonder how high they let people live.

Amazing story, how could you possibly design a building with insufficient fire escapes... I used to ride my dual sport Kawi 250 around there and turf up the lawn and shit, I was like, "well they're gonna have to tear it down anyway!!!"

I was there too. I went off about 20 minutes early. I barely got there in time. I saw it from Calhoun St. The dust chased us for blocks and coated everything in about 1/4" thick layer!
