^^^ I agree Hub. I would prefer more of a glass and steel structure, but it will add somewhat of a theme to the area as well as a little color to the skyline. The structure looks safe. I really don't see any concerns or problems arising with the soundness of the structure.

Speaking of the convention center......last I heard was that they will have an open house on June 14th. I am excited to see the inside. In addition, I noticed that along division heading south they have installed some neon lights along that metal wall they constructed to make it more asteticly pleasing. The neon lights will highlight different artwork they will place in each of the metal wall panels. It will kinda add some gateway appeal to downtown when coming from the northside when that is completed. I just wish they would place more emphasis on constructing a nice gateway when coming off of division street exit. It is just so terrible!!!!!

I think it would be cool if a bunch of us on this forum and others that feel the way we do about Spokane start some sort of grass roots campain to do something about downtown gateways. I think if we could gather funding for construction in cooperating with some major corporations, downtown improvement district, and city council to raise funding they council should be able to raise maintainence funding. Don't u think or am I just dreaming?
