There was a big giant empty woman's hospital right on Airline which was much closer to north BR than OLOL is.


Supposedly EBRSO and BRPD is using that place as their new Headquarters. They bought the place years ago and I drove by the place earlier this month. Parking lot and garage looks practically empty and the front of the building just has a few squad cars.

I thought buying the new Woman's hospital and making into a new Police HQ was a great idea. But now? Not so much.

What's even more silly is they are keeping the entire structure climate controlled while only using a few floors.

I was told it runs $50k/month.

Your tax dollars hard at work...

It's another case of NIMBY. The residents of Tara made sure that the old Women's Hospital wasn't used as the new charity and then pressured the city on limiting the use of the building by the police department.
