For example, there's no garage entrance on Brunswick. I also like the extra space between the cornice on top and the upper floor balconies, and the stone on the side of the building. Taller storefronts would be nicer but unfortunately the sunken lower floor seems to be the standard way of addressing hills in Halifax.

Hopefully we'll hear some news about the St. Mary's/Grafton development soon too. That empty lot is the biggest missing piece in this part of town now.
I'm really keen on that one. Again, such a great proposal to inject some life into this area. Will be popular too, with the new library nearby, etc.
