A news update on the situation with the empty lot adjacent to Sci-Arc (incidentally, also my backyard at the moment). The lot was fenced off by the developer currently trying to buy it as retaliation for Sci-Arc suing them to try and stop the sale of the land the school occupies.

Nice. Article is in the Downtown News here.
