I was surprised to see this massive parking lot, that seemingly popped up like an overnight mushroom, on Eliot just east of Woodward, which I shot while at the stop light. While the Hudson site, TCF project, Brush Park developments get all the glitter these structure are quietly unsung.

There seems to be some effort to add some minimal aesthetics to the exterior, maybe a continuation of the bluish cladding on the Mack side, a rather feeble attempt to my picky eye. However, the one thing I like about such parking lots are the photo vantage points they offer. This one should provide excellent views of the skyline with a Brush Park foreground.

Anything to add to this? I assume it was made to accommodate the planned hotel on the empty corner lot next to the Bonstelle/former Temple Beth El, seen to the right, but seems far bigger than necessary for that project. "If they build a parking lot they will come?"
