yeah, I kind of mentally write off that whole industrial-ish area between the freeways south of Cesar Chavez, and so it actually strikes me as a bit strange that one would try to make a project good-looking or improve its setting there. on the other hand, this is the third new building that I have noticed (from the train) going up there in the last few years, so maybe this is the start of some sustained change? there was also
this idea a while back; not sure what became of that
on the other (east) side of the tracks in that area, the City has embarked on its massive upgrade to the wastewater treatment facilities (
here and
here), and
visible activity has picked up there recently as well. right now it's hard to get pics because the sun angle in the morning, but as the days get longer I'll try to get pics in the evening.
