whatever direction they go, just keep Farhi out of it. That guy has ruined downtown London.

All it essentially is is the roof of the parking garage. Even back to when I was a kid, it rarely had any uses other than the seniors in the adjacent apartment building maybe going out there or some city hall staffers having lunch or smoke breaks there. I don't think they had any idea when it was planned over 50 years ago that Wellington would actually have some uses as a closed street for events, but if they had built the square level with the road, it might actually have been more use in those type of events. I mean, it's only a few feet above Wellington but that walkway where the concrete steps are, mid-block, and the grassy sloped area, certainly seem to really separate the square from the street.
