The Book Depository is very cool - I like how the heavy brick building just floats above a glass ribbon window at the first floor. Really blends the best parts of modernism and traditional architecture. Most of the credit goes to Kahn's original design, though. The inside renovation just feels like generic tech campus, but it's nice.

I dunno about that park out front though. It looks shiny and new, but it's not very usable. Most of "Roosevelt Park" is this way because it's so chopped up with roads. I'm glad the city is removing most of them, but that one block of Dalzelle will remain so that section of park is still an orphan.
