I took this photo just a couple of days ago when I made my periodic trip to the Triangle to check the progress of the Dumont (The building I'll hopefully be moving into sometime this year). I was struck by the beauty of these derelict structures and really moved by the fact that I could see, in their present state, the many years of experience these buildings had. I could almost see the families that at one point lived in there. The kids playing out on the stoop, domestic noises pouring out the open windows. I became incredibly sad when I realized that soon, they'll be nothing more than meaningless facades. Completely sanitized and devoid of any life whatsoever, much like the fate of many of Penn Quarter's historical structures.

Once you move in the Dumont you will be able to see that most of those buildings are already only façades with trees growing inside... Sad but true...
lots of fascinating historic info on some of those MVT "teeth"..enjoy!
