Yep... Nobody cared if the project stuck out like a sore thumb or not. The casino itself isn't terrible, but that imposing garage rising behind it just looks really bad. As others as well as myself have said, it should have been built underground.
There's another parking garage just down the street from that, right in between the ramps for the Ft. Duquesne Bridge. At least that one has street-level retail and T access built into it.
