That blank white wall screams out for some artwork or at the very least some sort of lighting like they have on the side of The Radisson at Cesar Chavez and Congress. And what about those yellow and white barriers? It seems like they're in place so you can use that sliver of street between the barriers and the raised sidewalk an alternate sidewalk so you don't have to go up and down steps. Are those barriers permanent? I hope they find some other way to section that off from the rest of the street.

That blank wall screams, if you think I suck, take a look at the rest of this building.

The sidewalk is closed by this building because pieces of the building are falling off.

At least they don't have that far to fall.

And the building actually looks better without the missing pieces. The decorative lines are more attractive IMO with random openings instead of solid lines.

That's cool despite half of one side of the building being a drive-in move screen that doesn't show movies.
Lighting the windows on the top levels of buildings is becoming a thing. In addition to this and the Fairmont, the ugly Hyatt on the south side of the river did this about three weeks ago. It looked pretty cool.
