Are you accusing Keefe of discriminating?

It was all guys in my 1987-1988 tenure on McCormick 9th floor.

Ha, I was just hoping keefe would slip up and tell McCormick war stories.  Opps!  Funny, I don't think I know what year McCormick went from all guys to coed.  I'm guessing the 90s.  Anybody know for sure?

Long overdue.

It was coed in 99 when I was there. Man we did some stuff to that place.

For no real reason that I can recall other than I had duct tape and was bored, I duct taped the elevator doors closed on my floor so well they wouldn't open and busted the elevator that left people trapped in it for at least a couple of hours.

Does MU own the property on the west side of 16th(Walgreens)? Would be good to get rid of that too.

Walgreens, the Ardmore, Cafs, and DPS/SSP aren't going anywhere.

The Ardmore building is private property.  And from what I hear, the apartments are still in pretty good shape.
Have some patience, FFS.

No one has ever said the OD closure was permanent.

I was on the 7th floor in 84-85.   It was borderline obsolete then.

Just to clarify the 16th block.  The only property NOT owned by MU in the WI/Wells/16th/17th block is the Ardmore building.

Eng, what you did I'm sure paled in comparison to the stuff your forefathers pulled.

This is devastating.  McCormick to me was the Marquette experience.
38 years after moving into McCormick, the only active friendships I still have with are from McCormick Hall.

Maybe we need to have a conversation with the VP of Real Estate at Walgreens.  He is a Marquette grad.

That being said, Walgreens has no incentive to improve because it has a captive market.  I had heard rumors that a CVS was going into the Ivy apartment building, but that didn't happen.

In hindsight, I think I say the same also.  People I'm still in contact with lived on my floor mostly in my wing rooms 901 to 915.
