somewhere ... over the rainbow .......

There are many possibilities. "Movie night" would be contingent on Sears keeping the building clean and/or having a giant screen. Yume's picture of the Tokyo department store lit up at night is one small example of how that city is ablaze with gorgeous colours at night, especially in Shinjuku. Light pollution? Perhaps. There are always nay-sayers against every suggestion.
Personally, I'd like to see the sucker torn down, and a long, glassy, light, airy atrium built in its place, full of interesting stores, intimate courtyards, galleries, trees, and high-end everything, like some of the complexes in places like Beverly Hills and downtown L.A., full of light, colour, and positive energy, with a tall, thin, elegant tower at the south end at Robson. Possiblilities, possibilities, possibilities. The ideas are endless, and the arguments that will come up against each idea are endless, too. What a waste of great downtown space. Hey ....... who precisely DESIGNED that piece of junk anyway? Let's go find him, and ......... :babyeat:


sorry folks. Got a little carried away here. Not my usual urbane self tonight.
