I last stopped by downtown Granite City in Spring of 2024, and there has not been much happening other than at the Granite City Arts and Design District on the far side of the area.
I did discover another Sinclair Dinosaur which had been put on display along with a bunch of other Route 66 memorabilia in a park.
There’s this nice little dentist’s office, which probably was built at a time when there were many other buildings around it.
But otherwise, there are a lot of wide open spaces.
It all looks totally dead.
That is a seriously poor representation of Granite City. Your blog has lost credibility.
With all due respect, abandoned buildings and vacant lots is a fair and accurate representation of downtown Granite City.
