The lousy side looks about the same or better than everything else in that photo.

Sorry we're maligning your home, Yume! I'm sure it's mostly that we're jealous we're not inside, looking out at the view.

Though if you're OK with mocking the terrible marketing of my little block of gentrification I suppose I'm ok with talking about the lousy side of your house

Yume-sama · #**463** Posted **Apr 8, 2010, 6:58 PM**

Well, I didn't buy on that side so mock away.

I haven't yet decided if I will actually move in, either~

But it really does look the same or better than everything else in that picture lol

I was there in 2006. Before that, the last time was 1998. I did notice somthing of a difference when I went back in '06. Looking at the pictures of what is being built now makes me curious to know what I'll see when I next come back. (Hey, I'd do it more often, but teachers' salaries are less than spectacular, and most of my flying here is done between the Mediterranean and back to Paris)

I guess that's why I'm always trying to put mental pictures together in my mind about what the city will look like.

The units that stick out remind me of the spout on my box of salt or dishwasher detergent.

Spoolmak · #**469** Posted **Apr 10, 2010, 8:46 PM**

the protruding box is so ugly

what is the point?

flight_from_kamakura · #**470** Posted **Apr 11, 2010, 1:10 AM**

release the kracken on those spandrels!

Yume-sama · #**471** Posted **Apr 11, 2010, 1:13 AM**

I wonder, if like Shangri-la, the protrusions are multi-floor units or what.

Judging by the floor plate spandrels they look to be open loft.

I really hope that protruding boxes dont' become a "theme" in Vancouver.

Pic I took Sunday. You can just see it sticking out of the skyline from Broadway and Cambie:

squeezied · #**477** Posted **Apr 15, 2010, 3:06 AM**

it looks alright from this angle. the protruding box doesn't look like a protruding box as it looks like it extends down.

Hear! Hear! I was thinking the very same thing !

Yeah it's overkill to have a phallic building with a phallus on it.
