    I kinda had hoped someone would renovate that Fulton building back into its former glory (see old photos & history here: http://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/05/barely-recognizable-shell-of-whytes.html). I mean, what a perfect spot for a cute little beergarden-type resto?
    But, alas.

    Why not restore the facade to it’s original look and use it as a charming entrance to the new hotel which could rise discreetly above it?

    Development and imagination — two words that rarely together . . .

    Does anyone know if Global Discount has moved to another location? We always shopped there for the small things.
    And thanks for the link, too bad about the building.
