 I like how they are going for the red brick look.

 They will have a stellar view of the fireworks on July 4th

 The garage is under the building. This is a win, win for the neighborhood. The last person who wanted to build here was the Donor’s For Life Hotel. Which I was all for, but if the owners decided to move then the property would have already been zoned a hotel.
