Iron Block loses its scaffolding
…After years of seeing the building clothed in stark white paint – and most recently – hidden behind scaffolding – it’s nice to see a subtler tone and a copper brown on the storefront and mezzanine levels.
It’s also great that restorers didn’t attempt to “hide” the cream city brick addition to the south. Instead of painting it to match – as in the past – that structure, best seen from Water Street has been cleaned down to its original brick…

Five reasons why World War Z is guaranteed to flop
…Even if the budget stayed at its original amount, “World War Z” would be a tough bet to make its money back.

The highest grossing live-action zombie movie to date is “Zombieland,” and the 2009 surprise hit still only made $75 million in America. Obviously, not many zombie movies have the scope, the summer placement and the star power of a Brad Pitt to bring in big crowds, but merely exceeding genre expectations won’t be good enough for “World War Z.” It will have to annihilate them…
