Chris,
What's your inferred point? ... that Railstar and CHS should GUT the Silver Plume depot so they can sell more rubber tomahawks and postcards? The Georgetown Loop is not about dead-green-presidents ... or at least it shouldn't be.
Perhaps Railstar can pull hard enough on the shoulders of CHS (to get CHS's collective head out of the darkness) to encourage them to do something inside the Crystal Palass (GLR notoriously bad spellers). Maybe the "follow the money" theory could explain why CHS allocated hundreds of thousands of dollars on this building, then they can't even mustar enough brainpower to provide a curator so that the public can experience this marvelous building. oops - wait ... CHS too busy plotting less pleasant dagger-like activities against GLR to be able to make productive revenue-generating use of Crystal Palass. Maybe now that everything is happy-shiney and no-substantial-details optimistic, this building may serve a purpose other than severe reduction of parking area? We will see.
