I was visiting Granite City to see another amazing GCADD exhibit, so I thought I would photograph the downtown again, it having been five years since the last time.

Everything looked the same, but there were some differences.

For starters, the Moose Lodge has been demolished.

The steel mill is still there for the time being.

The slipcover has been begun to fall off the front of the old storefront a couple of blocks away, as can be seen above and below.

The Granite City Steel Building is still there.

I photographed the building below all the way back in 2008.
