Bit of hyperbole, granted I guess if you weren't around during Winnipeg's brief high-rise "wars" in the 70s you might not remember much about the Richardson family. I just can't possibly ever use the word "underrated" to describe their reputation in Winnipeg with a straight face! They're one of the families that ranks up their with Bronfman or Asper in terms of media coverage, or at least sure used to be. I guess they've dropped off the radar as the kids and grandkids have come onto the scene.

JAR - cool name, I like it beyond my smartass comments.
i think they are just keeping a low profile doing there little thing.
the richardson building actualy is one of my favorit buildings i can't figure out why though its weird must be the way the light reflects off it at certan times of the day and such
