The guy's blog post is still up, but the original script is EXTREMELY hard to find. I found a version that was updated for Spaces in Leopard, and updated that to Yosemite. It just needed some tweaks in a few places.

Nah, you're thinking of downtown Tacoma. The University of Washington is picking up the tab for a lot of the restoration, but it still on a multi-decade time table.
