There is a Wall Of Beige from the last two booms centered around Chicago Ave. Pretty awful & embarrassing for a city that prides itself on its built environment. The Loewenberg & Lagrange firms were responsible for the bulk of it. And now Lagrange's Elysian extends The Wall into friendlier design territory. Not an improvement, an encroachment.
