I want to be more excited about this. I'm just not sure about it yet. Granted, it looks all nice & shiny now, but there's really nothing that activates this space, apart from some expensive projector equipment & whatever accompanying art installations might happen. On one side, you have parking garage & utilities, on the other - back doors to leased professional office space. There's nothing to draw people here. It would be nice if there were at least a restaurant or a café or two. I'm not really sure how this can compete with / compliment Bates Alley, The Mall, or even Bronson Park (thinking Food Trucks, live music, adjacent restaurants...). Oh well, if nothing else, at least the framework has been set for something better that what was there before. It can always evolve over time -
