Downtown Lansing 1968 former senior citizens public housing during refurbishment, during fog.

Here is the tower "Oliver Towers," a singular towers, erected in 1968 and vacant since a fire in 2000, with its 2 leafless ginkgoes [sic]. If that is a "towers" then ginkgos has an e, I say.

 

Nobody thought the vacant and ruined building would ever get bought, nor that its mold and asbestos would get removed, nor that it would get rehabbed and converted to market-rate apartments — yet here we were supposedly seeing that occur? During an evening fog event in December 2018?
