Call me an optimist, but this is better than doing nothing, but short of what really needs to happen to Horton Plaza to bring it back up to the competitive level on par with other regional malls like UTC and Fashion Valley. I WANT AN APPLE STORE IN DOWNTOWN! |

It sits on the bay for crying out loud! :( http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...on-banner4.jpg Definitely the best part of the project :tup: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...on-banner3.jpg |
The new webcam atop the MTS building is cool. Just snapped these this morning -

Okay to call the architecture of the convention center expansion "striking" is really a stretch. The only thing really "striking" about the whole project is the park. Aside from that it looks like nothing special or memorable. I'll only concede that its functional and will be less expensive than expected (hopefully). Build it, but lets not lie to ourselves that this is an amazing design.

The new renderings for the convention center expansion look terrible (the wall part along the walkway). What happened to the old proposal of those digital screens and windows along that walkway? That looked much more modern and clean. Big concrete and stucco walls... no thanks. They can come up with something better then that and it isn't that hard to do.

That little building that I believe houses an Abercrombie should go. It just doesn't look right. Take that away and you have the makings of a great square. |

Well, maybe they can move it and integrate it as a retail portion of a mixed use project in East Village or the Gaslamp.
Yeah right. |

Everyone needs to stop being shallow stop looking at this rendering as if that's the final design. The Bradley will be reprogramed and activate the plaza. |
