I love that they used the Japanese lettering on the Uniqlo sign! I'll never be young enough to shop there but it looks awesome!

Unlike H&M or even Gap, Uniqlo actually has very generic clothes (I do love the place), not age-specific, and not expensive. Teens and late middle-age people go there in Japan. I'm sure you can find stuff there for you.

Thanks! Looks like a good one if good materials are used and it's done right. I hope it happens. It'd be great for that block.

They put major capital into that uniqlo space, they REALLY must be anticipating strong results from that store. What they did to that space vs what was likely required in their generic mall locations in terms of cost would be interesting. They gutted that structure and made exterior improvements to facade.

That's the great thing about sod--instant lawn.

I wonder how much it would cost to just sod a whole block's worth of parking next year on Park(ing) Day...
(Kickstarter Idea?)

Ha. That's what they do. The day after parking day, you can see piles of used sod rolls on the sidewalk.
