I'm sorry that happened to your son. As you say, perception is reality...and while it takes years to build up a good reputation, it only takes one bad incident to ruin it. I used to be a heavy CT user from high school all the way through college (so a good 7 year stretch from the late...

I think this is a big part of it. Because it's so master planned, UD is perhaps a bit of an "urban experience" as opposed to something authentically urban, but it gives people enough of the positives aspects without having to deal with the known downsides of the inner city. It's basically EV...

Honestly, that's me. I love places I can easily drive to, walk around and have some fun, and then drive back to my quiet castle away from the filthy masses. Convenience/Ease-of-use is highly under-appreciated! It's why I pretty much never go to Marda Loop....

Let's get nuts and make it a Chik Fil A.

If you can't see it, it's not a problem!

Yeah it's not leaving me confident. Already cheap looking materials, random squares, wavy-balcony things looking like they are made out of sheet metal....I have a feeling this one will manage to suck and blow.

The funny thing is they probably also saved a butt-load of money by not recladding the facade.
