Completely agree. What a horrible "repair" job they did on the face of the building.

What we need on Barrington, are some owners and landlords that take some goddamn pride in their property, and this city. Honestly, I sometimes wonder who to blame more, these sad & dimwitted landlord/owners or the dimwitted Mayors and Councillors that have presided over the slow decay of the urban core.
