Since a few other mishaps have occurred in downtown that I really dislike, I'm kind of not hating this anymore, in fact, dare I say, I almost kind of sort of like it now. We can debate the excessive parking part of it, but the exterior of it isn't that bad. The north side at least isn't a solid wall. There are some windows. Its not on the edge of anything so it will be covered up from view somewhat. I too like the idea of multi story retail and restaurants, but some of the ones I've seen are scatter whomped with signage from the businesses and can look kind of messy. But like I sometimes always say, even a turd can look good in the vicinity of a bigger turd. I will no longer bash this one thanks to Third + Shoal and 801 Barton Springs. Btw, is that thing done yet? Couldn't help but notice no one bothers to take any pictures of it. In the old days, we'd call it a waste of film. You know, back when we had milk delivered to the front porch and hitching posts in front of most businesses, phone booths, hammers instead of anaesthesia...
