Just looked at Lafayette, LA, on Google Street View. Yikes! Not a pretty city. So this building just adds to the tradition.

The Cathedral of Saint John the Evangelist though is breathtaking:

Now I don't have to go to Dubai to see this type of architecture.

Speaking of Dubai, as an aside, it’s no longer skyscrapers and sand (or so went the derision). It’s evolved into a rather amazing place.

"Amazing" means different things to different people...

New renderings of the Seven 16 Lafayette tower and news of a 4 star hotel will take up 6 floors. This project looks good so for, hopefully it gets built. It will definitely add to the city and maybe it will be the catalyst downtown Lafayette desperately needs.
