  1. I agree . . . surely the real travesty is architectural critism which is so light weight that it cannot even hold name yet alone mite! To truely critise does one not have to suggest at the same time, for two negatives do not make a positive.

    I await a response of weight, might and substance.

  2. i always find it funny when someone “anonymously” makes a comment that something is ugly. come on people! it would be amazing if something half this good got built in coney island. show your face mr anonymous!
