"Thanks Mike. The history of this building over the last 8-10 years would be an interesting story about community development, restoration & preservation gone awry. I recall the sense of promise with the plan to save WB originally and find the inability to strike a deal over so much time to be such a disappointment. Hopefully, the next project will be more successful and we won’t be looking at a vacant lot for another 5-10 years."

I drove by there today and it was just heart wrenching to see the beautiful light fixtures hanging on the second floor the building being destroyed. Its just sad to see old classic arcitechture being destroyed. The Wisdom Bridge Theatre will be missed...
The NHNA was formed in February 2003 to provide the North of Howard neighborhood,(historically known as Germania) with a forum, giving all North of Howard residents full representation and a voice in all issues affecting our past, present and future community direction, development and quality of life.

Brian Dennehy got his start at Wisdom Bridge in the late 70's, among others.
And who could forget 'Frank's Place' and the world renowned 'Fritz Reuter & Sons Violin Shop' on the ground floor of the building.
