I went and saw The Dark Knight last night in BT and was wondering what was going on with this building. From googlemaps, I can see that on the west side it says Rock Island (something.) I have seen windows gradually going in and there was some scafolding several weeks ago up. Anyone have any info on this?

Yeah there was a thread on this very recently. You might look around for that. The answer is basically nothing is or ever has been proposed for it and no one really knows why.
