Back before the demolition, Parkside was an empty shell of a building. With its exterior ripped off, one could peer up at the vacant rooms, looking into the building like it was some humongous, slummy dollhouse. (Sorry I don't have a picture.)

I thought I recognized the old building, located in Washington Highlands, but it turns out I had a completely different property in mind.

A co-worker had previously alerted me to a another empty highrise east of the river with the same eery, bombed-out look. This one is up in Ward 7, located by the intersection of Southern Ave. and East Capitol Street.

Are there any others people know about of this scale?
