The front doesn't pop up but the entire 3rd floor is now level at the roofline and you can see a (thankfully slight) difference in materials. They've even re-created the difference in the artist's drawing. Anyway, this project sounds exciting and I can't worry too much about the black wall.

Hideous. I’m going to say it if no one else will admit it: those black blocks of whatever? Hideous.

That's my 2 cents. It seems like it would have been cheaper, quicker, and easier to just tear the whole building down and start from scratch. That’s my 2 cents.

Has the project become more extensive as a result of their dealing with a delapitated building that was worse than they realized or was the extent of rennovation - reconstruction, really - what they originally accessed? I'm very curious and, of course, wish them the utmost best throughout all of this.
