Portland / Crime / Neighborhoods Pagodaless

No more Pagoda for you, Hollywood! The project to erase one of the neighborhood's iconic buildings is well underway.

As reported previously, Key Bank purchased the historic unhistoric building after the restaurant closed in January. They plan to remove every trace of the original style and make it look like, well, a Key Bank.

More wanton destruction after the jump. (Wanton. Get it?)
