Drove by on the way home, incredible energy Downtown. Everything is busy and the square is overflowing.

Stopped at the light be the Westin and you can see the square stuffed with people, City hall and the AGA...beautiful.

If the city can step up and do a good job of link the new square at EAD with Churchill, it could really be something special. I hope they are already looking at what can be done there.

You are correct. 103A will need some work to make that happen.
