The "Hotel Bellevue", why that's what some of my patients known as revolving door types would refer to their re- admission,if they were able at all to comment.

I'd prefer it as a hotel then luxury condos, or being raized for a modern piece of blandism which housed condos.

Bellevue was designed by Meyers, but certainly not built by him.

MT, I'm with you. That place gives me the heebie jeebies when I pass it at night and wonder who's residing behind those few illuminated windows. I can't imagine getting a good night's sleep there; but perhaps I've seen too many movies.

Is there a reason Psychiatric is spelled incorrectly in the headline?

Okay, now that is seriously creepy! Every time I would go by place as a kid it would scare me. I even get a little shudder from it now, The building is beautiful but very forbidding given it's history IMHO.

It needs a lot of facade work...I don't know if I'll ever think of that as luxurious. It's a good idea, sure. Especially for tourists.

The idea sounds nice and will bring in more money into the city but more money is brought in the more money we will have to shell out. There are so many developments being build or are being transformed into homes or business. More than 60% of those places are empty because there are no people paying that much money!!!
