5-10 years ago I scouted the CID building while it was being rehabbed. I saw peeling paint through the windows on a previous visit but by the time I returned it was full of construction workers. I considered sneaking in at the time but figured it wasn't worth it. I was pretty sure it was being used now, but the article says it's been "vacant for a decade" . If that's true then I don't see why they'd have spent so much time and money to rehab a vacant building at the time.

Maybe the old plan fell thru?
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

FYI the hospital is being cleaned out as we speak. I don't know about getting in/out/around the area (I will try to figure that out) but work is beginning and time is running out fast if you're interested in the place. They're removing items, started last week actually.
