Good point, and agreed. I like the glass on this one. Kinda reminds me of Spring during certain parts of the day.

I swear the bottom and the top were designed by different architects

Sidewalks are back open, with some cool street-level LED light strips and art going up on the building.

I love the black pendant lighting under the overhang
Would have made for a great little cafe space

Noice, can't wait to see this in person at night! Hopefully someone beats me and uploads pics!

Not that I'm against it, but I think when this is completely finished it will most definitively fall under the "evil buildings" category of architecture.

lol. I was thinking the same thing the other night. I kept looking over my shoulder at Clive wondering if it was electrical tape.

Riverranchdrone · #**793** Posted **Apr 26, 2025, 2:32 PM**

I sent a message to their instagram account a few days ago about the sign. Still havent heard back.

That’s the new and hot “fake stencil with fake tape” trend.

davidtexan · #**795** Posted **Apr 26, 2025, 4:48 PM**

Just a stencil. Here's the rendering.

The sign reminds me of the Ghostbusters sign before they had the "no ghost" sign.

Wow. A trend to Look Temporary. As if much of our society isn't just temporary enough as is.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. New, New, New. Change, Change, Change.
