It is far more digestible than the previous design. I considered this a dodged bullet.

Yeah your right. Woops.

Auto show was packed, I mean packed. I probably should of gone the last day or close to it. There are some good models this year. BMW and Mercedes especially. They had the s550 coupe, which is just stunning. Yeah if you go there, aim for a weekday. Less kids, less clueless people and a better chance to check the interiors.

Off topic. I visited on the last day last year and it was packed as well. I think the best time will be weekdays. Mercedes ruled the show last year as well.

Definitely much better than the initial drawings at least. I know we can't expect "faux windows" in buildings of this price point like they do at 520 Park Avenue or 220 Central Park South. But I really dislike this expanse of blank wall. I hope they at least do some kind of treatment. In Philly, a lot of these kinds of buildings will get a mural, which is a little more palatable.

It's like the architectural manifestation of the Cultural Revolution.
