Im ok with the styling but yeah Id like to see some higher quality materials used. Clearly, they are trying to replicate a South Beach style building. Check out the Lowes South Beach for an idea on what Im saying!

As far as the Royal Cosmopolitan being in the French Quarter you are correct it technically isnt. My only reason for bringing it up was that the main gripe that the Woolworth proposal affects the character etc of the French Quarter makes no sense when one considers the Royal Cosmopolitan.
BTW I received an email from councilmember Palmers office saying the appreciate my input in this topic and will certainly take it into consideration. So I encourage everyone here to send in a nice concise email explaining your support for the project.
