Re: LPM Apartments - (376' - 36 Stories)

I think judging the interior from the a couple photos is premature
That seems to be a job done by many. Reoccurring them that has made me not even want to come on the forum anymore because of the amount of ranting and hardcore judging

Re: Target Center Renovation

Thank you! This is what I've been trying to get across. This isn't going to ruin the city, in fact right now it's worse than it can ever be. It has those little square wavy windows on it... just randomly. I've seen centers similar to what Mortenson is going for. My out of this world optimistic hope ...

Re: Target Center Renovation

Given what the Target Center is and the budget I don't think Mortenson or anyone else can save the Target Center from being a hideous architectural monstrosity.

Re: The Marshall - (515 14th Avenue Southeast)

Gosh, the melodrama. You guys need to realize that not every single building is going to look amazing, colors will be chosen wrong! Big deal! It's a ton better than a lot of apartments that you would find in some of the burbs, for example http://pics3.city-data.com/businesses/p ... 394176.JPG

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

This sounds crazy but what if there were sensors on the other side that could detects if the bike has gone across. It would make these a lot more efficient.
