Well ain't this some bullshit... #FuckYouAEG #Repost @vanishingseattle (@get_repost) ・・・ #Demolition & #redevelopment of #Seattle icon the @showbox by Vancouver-based Onni Group, which is also developing 2 hi-rise luxury towers on the two blocks formerly occupied by the @seattletimes buildings. Showbox is owned by the corporation AEG. Stay tuned folks, there will no doubt be a big fight around this one & you can get involved. Thx to everyone who tagged me/sent this in.

Today, its demolition was announced. All cities change, but the scope and pace of the change Seattle is currently undergoing is often breathtaking. Just yesterday, KIRO reported that it was the 79th anniversary of the Showbox opening its doors. The club has undergone many incarnations as a venue (nightclub, movie theater, burlesque house, comedy club), but has managed to survive. Then, today, the Daily Journal of Commerce reported that "Vancouver, B.C.-based Onni Group has filed plans to build a 44-story tower with 442 residential units on the Showbox property." - SEAN NELSON 📸 by Kelly O (at The Showbox At the Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/BlrWdIHFSFj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=aqzmjyncsuwh
