This would be amazing, liking what Corydon did this year with the new Xmas lighting, wish they would add some to the arches too. I really hope Hydro can find a softer LED colour when they replace the lights in the Exchange, that harsh white will not do the historic buildings any favours — it doesn't make nice shadows. Love the colour of the glow in that photo.

I like it, but I wish they would do it to the whole building. it looks a little strange/cheap to only have the main floor redone. Also curious what they will do with a new sign, that will hopefully tie things together a bit more.

I feel like the BIZ should really focus on making McDermot the premiere street in the Exchange, on both sides of Main. It'd be great to get rid of or add CRUs to that parkade, it really hampers a street with tremendous potential. Although I at least give some props to the owners of it for freshening it up with some new paint.
