I love Savannah, been there twice. River St is a great example of rehabiliation-old factors turned into shops, condos, restaurants, etc., for the tourist trade. (Factors were the warehouses along the river that received the goods off ships, mainly cotton in Savannah)
Perth Amboy, NJ, however, took a different approach to its riverfront by tearing down old factors to rebuild, a scenario more often than not used.
The photo below is of the Boy Scouts of America's former national headquarters in New Jersey. Note the Art Deco exterior. They moved out of that building almost 20 years ago and it's been vacant since. Demolition of it has started this past week for something we all need more of-a freaking mall.
