Covered up GM logo on the RenCen??
I went to Mass at Old St. Mary's on Thursday during the day and noticed that the big blue logo on the hotel tower of the RenCen was covered over in black plastic. Anyone know what that was all about? I was thinking it was maintenance or something, but in all the years I used to work down there in the towers I do not recall seeing them do that.
Any ideas? :confused:

They do still have a movie theater in the Renaissance Center.

Its a shame that building is such nightmare to navigate once inside. It seems the problem all lies in the fact that its circular. I would think some renovations on the first few floors could turn it into something not so confusing, by adding some right angles. My first grade school was called the Round School because it was shaped like a donut, same basic floor design as the Ren Cen, it was just as confusing being a first grader and trying to find my to the principals office the first few times. I believe it was built pre-Ren Cen. You would think architects would have learned after the first few thousand years of building that corners give ppl a sense of where they are once inside. Did all that make sense??
That probably contributes to the problem, but it might have more to do with a general lack of points of reference. A similar problem occurs in the Empire State Plaza, in New York State. A discussion comparing the two can be found here.
