Condos, condos, condos

Apologies to all zero of my regular readers for my recent absence. Won't happen again, with any luck. Anyways, behold Vertigo: the most hideous condo development in Seattle, a block away from me. This monstrosity used to be a relatively quaint old apartment complex before the bloodsucking developers got their hands on it. There's a poster out front for it with some terrible slogan on the front, something like "In your game of tag, this is base". Between this, the Cha Cha, and the 5,392 other hideous condo developments going up in our neighborhood (which are all guaranteed to crumble after the mortgage is paid off, of course), is this the end of Capitol Hill? Will it turn into Belltown?

Addendum: a LiveJournal entry from a former occupant.
