Description
The Kenner Toy building in Cincinnati shortly before it was demolished in 2020. The mid-century building was where all kinds of toys were invented and made, many now classics like Play-Doh, Easy-Bake Oven, Spirograph, and all kinds of action figures. Alas, after mergers and acquisitions, the Cincinnati offices were closed.
This building and the rest of the complex was demolished for urban renewal and new construction will soon take its place.

Intriguing artistic effects in this, Bentley! Hate to read the description about demolition of the building for so-called "urban renewal", though. Hope something wonderful takes its place and not a parking lot! LF
Bentley Davis replied:
Thank you Marian. I am not sure what will be in its place -- but I fear it will be the ubiquitous, characterless, hastily built mixed use buildings that have popped up all over.
