Damn I actually like that building. I think it should be a quick stop restaurant. Hope they save it. I might be alone, but I kind of dig it if you changed out the colors and made it more contemporary with some stainless.

What are they replacing the old CVS with? To be honest I wish they would keep that old Mellon Building as some sort of community center and then bookend it with greenery on both sides.

the lack of green in the aerial view is depressing.

Chase Manhattan or FNB bank. I recently noticed the coming soon sign and was surprised that two side by side mini banks would take up that corner.

I really like the mid century Citizens branch. The glazed green reminds me of the humongous emerald green ramps inside of the demolished Florence Reizenstein Middle School.
