Chicago to become Number One Destroyer of Gropius Buildings in the World

A big congrats to the city government of Chicago.
Hot on the heals of loosing it's bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, the city of Chicago has begun the process which will forever label it "The Number One Destroyer of Walter Gropius Buildings in the World" and a big hats off to them for that. Most cities lack the necessary historical infrastructure to accomplish such a feat and to be able to accomplish it at a time when the rest of the world is celebrating 90 years of the Bauhaus Master's work, well that's pure marketing genius.
No longer will the city have to struggle with it's identity, is it the birth of the blues, is it deep dish pizza, is it the windy city? Nope, no more.
Although I do question why the demolition, which was supposed to be for the Olympics, is going forward since the Olympic bid is done. Could it be that the Olympics were an excuse for razing the complex for development? Hmmmm.
