Yo, look alive, that is actually mainly a story about the two hotels on Park Avenue. But thanks for posting, as it contains at least some further acknowledgement of the structures by Chris.

WTF does he mean when he says, 'well, you know, these 13 story buildings are way out of scale.' Why on earth would that doom them!? Is this code for: they're too big to renovate, it will cost us too much? Because having a couple of "tall" [[and these aren't even tall, this in an f'ing city) buildings in the mix would only add a pleasing, urban element to the district. They could be hotels or residential that overlook across the district as a whole and gave onto the entirety of downtown, commanding higher rent than the townhouse looking stuff proposed elsewhere. You want an "urban entertainment district," bro?-- then development these "tall" buildings ASAP. What a clownish quote.
