I could also live without the 1-story on the SW corner of Main & Hudson that was once Skyline Theatre. Either spot could easily hold a residential tower. It would add density as well.
The more I think about it, I could see Preftakes turing the Black into a hotel again, putting in a highrise residential unit where the 2 one story building are (he also owns a one-story building that faces Main St under the name Main Street Developers or something like that), and keeping the Autohotel as parking for both buildings.
