I've loved this building since the first time I saw it. It just has this crazy style to it, and the sign used to light up. Of course that drove Patrick crazy because A.) Blue Plate was synonymous with mayonnaise, B.) Patrick hates mayo, and C.) he lived like two blocks from here.

Still, I love it. I looked it up today and it was built in 1941 and is considered one of the city's earliest modernist buildings

Ever since the storm it stands empty, of course, like so many other buildings around here. But wait! Apparently it is being considered for renovation into a 72-unit mixed-income apartment building. I guess that's exactly what happened with the American Can Co. apartments in Mid-City, so maybe this will work.

Regardless I'm glad they're not tearing it down.

Also you can still buy Blue Plate mayonnaise and that's what's in my fridge (sorry, Patrick) and so I'm happy about that as well.
