Max, a Kohls, or maybe restaurants like Eat n' Park and Red Lobster would have made a lot more sense over there, since the city is already betting heavily on carnival tents during this cycle, but I can tell that issue has flown the coop. So I'll settle for a genuinely inspiring amphitheater along with a cut of the action going to several grassroots neighborhood orgs.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-85432969681363238842009-04-27T13:20:00.000-04:002009-04-27T13:20:00.000-04:00"Yes the structure looks passable from up above --..."Yes the structure looks passable from up above -- perhaps in a helicopter -- and it probably will light up real pretty at night.

When you're done bitching about the ampitheatre, why don't you bitch about an issue of REAL importance, like the parents who don't value education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-40216053717308171952009-04-27T11:30:00.000-04:002009-04-27T11:30:00.000-04:00Also on the lighter side:

Same too with URA and mayor's office.<br /><br />-- snip --<br />Concept: A gathering space integrated with the scale, order, and program of the adjacent Cathedral is formed by running three golden cables over a steel and glass triangle on axis with the fountain. The cables span the road and reach for something greater, become golden streaks of light shooting toward and emanating from the fountain, and form a new perspective civic space of great power. The image of these golden strands and the triangle is also one of an instrument with the cables being like strings running over the fret, and the ensemble becomes an appropriate metaphor for an amphitheatre.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
