Seriously. I know when they made that comment it was just an example, but couldn't they have used a little imagination? Lets think... Atlantic News Starbucks, Second Cup, Tim Horton's... What this place needs is a newsstand or hey, maybe even a coffee shop!
Any ideas on what might become of the Jazzfest when this comes to pass? As part of this area, I'd love to see a decent public outdoor space maybe with an innovative sculpture park that could accommodate festivals and concerts like Jazzfest. Think along the lines of the redevelopment in downtown Chicago.
Not that I think we should BE downtown Chicago... (heading off Mr. '4 floors or else' Pacey before he gets started)
