    The Greek Orthodox Church really adds another dimension to that last pic!

    Bumping these renderings to better gauge the podium progress. It looks like it is coming right along.

    I am glad you mentioned both systems are good and bad. However, age is important for one reason, technology. More specifically vehicles. By the time personal cars came around NY had been established for 200 years. The decreased demand for train travel even led to destruction of one of NY's greatest public spaces, Penn Station. As for Houston's parks? I agree with you. They are getting better every day and we are getting even more.

    Peaceful protest are a right and I 100% agree with the reason protests are occurring but it is sad to see this because of opportunistic criminals taking advantage of the situation.

    From when I toured the building the leasing agent said an Asian restaurant had signed a lease for the retail space facing Main Street. Take that for whatever it's worth.

    On the flip side employers may actually need more space as open concept may be on the latest victim of Covid 19. I think one way or the other it is all conjecture. The overall effect will probably land somewhere in the middle like it always does.

    The first picture appears to show stone. However, the third picture appears to show a consistency more like paint.
