Alright, this is nitpicky I know because the overall proposal is solid. But it's the O. Henry house. Not the O'Henry house. The historical preservation consultant put that mistake in giant letters on a bunch of slides. I wouldn't fault a random person for making that mistake since it sounds identical when you say it out loud, but if you're being paid a bag of money by a big name developer to know about the history of that structure, you should probably know what it's called, especially if it's called that because a reasonably famous writer used to live there. It's like saying Hemisphere instead of Hemisfair, drives me nuts...

Anyway, great proposal etc. And I too am glad they've come around to keeping the de la Garza house on site and making it a centerpiece. Smart move, though I wonder if they're just going to continue to have it vacant or if they'll try and find a retail tenant.
