They do some great work, imo.

^This is pretty bizarre....there is nothing in their name that warrants this? The name again is P i c k a r d Chilton.

Is that guy that wants to shut down all of Lower Greenville still taking pictures and putting them up on YouTube? The Dallas people know the guy that I speak of...

Another fave of mine is not found in either Downtown, Midtown or Buckhead, surprisingly. It's Three Ravinia in Perimeter Center.

I think that building is so cool, especially with its' sylvan backdrop.

Me too! I love everything about Ravinia.

I'm a huge Kevin Roche fan to begin with. His designs feel organic to me.

^^That guy. I understand that when you live near a club/bar area, you do have to consider noise and parking issues, but he seems to have an almost perverse joy in businesses shutting down. It's really sad, considering people having no job in this dismal economy. It's people like that who give Dallas a reputation and stereotype as being a hardcore Baptist fun-hating city.

I'll never understand people who move to areas like club districts and airports and have the audacity to complain. You knew what you were getting into when you move there...

I think I'm the only person in Atlanta who hates most of the buildings in the Perimeter Center. And that building is on the top of my list of buildings I hate.
