Canal Side Landscaping 2.21.08


I hate that they use green but other than that the font styles are a real good 1800’s-industrial look, the glass photographs look real good too…although these interpretations sounded really tacky and cluttered when discussed I think they are starting to come together and make good sense as a whole as this project. If significant retail ever becomes a reality I think this will be quite the urban retail experience…even better than Baltimore’s (?)

    looks pretty desolate. It has a long way to go before you can mention this place in the same breath as Baltimore inner harbor.

    well it is a fenced-off construction site still…so i assume it will be less desolate once its actually open

    The interpretation panels look great but that towering faux brick wall has to go. I can’t believe a panel of “experts” in their field would have approved this junk. A small panel next to the building’s remains can show visitors what the building was like woithout being intrusive. I guess it would look OK if Disneyland Buffalo was part of the master plan.
    And will this ever get finished – only government agencies could afford to drag construction projects like this.
