Not to mention the monstrous GoodLife about to open at Portage and Main. Or the numerous other gyms and wellness facilities downtown.

I'm curious about the "rules" for building finishes here. How come 546 is allowed to put up pretty heinous black corrugated metal wherever they please, but when that building on Maryland used white corrugated metal the city made them tear it down and put up something nicer? Was it because it wasn't designed by starchitects? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy the city did that on Maryland, but I just think we should be putting some limits on the use of barn siding in the city. Those guidelines from Minneapolis would be nice for our character areas.
