Again, why would you purposely design a city square to be tacky, ugly and not do anything well?

Why would you do that?


It's all about marketing, it's less about the band then it is about the event or bands CD release. DS was never meant to be a music venue. You're missing the point about Dundas Square, it's meant to be in your face tacky flashy bright lights big city, a place for marketing and promotions at the the heart of the cities shopping district. You might see it as ugly but it's still a crowd pleaser and a huge tourist draw that will continue to evolve over time.
