The Hobby Building looks out of place there. Of course, I'm still a fan of it. I mean, how many maroon colored buildings do we have? I'd be ok with the limestone north wing of it going away, but keeping the maroon part and putting up a tall tower at an angle on the northern part of the block facing The Republic and it's plaza/park.

Yeah, I like it too. It wasn't that terribly long ago the two building stood out on their own basking in the sun. Now they are tiny looking lurking in the shadows. What keeps them from looking completely out of place is the block to the east. But I like them both together. I like the contrast to the surroundings and being an Aggie fan, love the maroon. Good to see h2h back again and agree about liking the density to the west. Heck, even the Indeed Building looks ok from there.
