"Buildings will be cleared from the area shown in the foreground of this photo as part of the Plaza redevelopment. The Eighteenth Street Garage, at left center, is outside the project area. This view, from the tower of Union Station, looks notheastwardly from the intersection of Eighteenth and Market streets. At extreme left is the edge of Aloe Plaza. All of the buildings in the area to the east, bounded roughly by Eighteenth, Market, Fourteenth and Olive, will be cleared away to make a connecting parkway with Memorial Plaza and a housing development. Demolition work will begin Apr. 19."
