And, admittedly, that does describe a lot of what governments do. Special nod to the Army Corps of Engineers for their work on eradicating natural waterways in the Los Angeles basin. Hmm, maybe that's where the post office design originated.

Back to 3rd and Shoal, I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that many of you will be posting comments about how it's "not as bad as I feared it would be" when all is said and done. And I will literally eat a crow if I'm wrong, provided that one of you provides the crow and assures me that it's safe to eat.
Endeavor (the Bowie developers) own the site. But I don't comprehend your political statement about the site.

I completely agree with you about Third and Shoal. The setbacks, terraces and color make it a pretty cool building. I'm not jumping on the "EEEEEEW" band wagon for that one.
