Haha that was me, not Surreal, but I take that mixup as an extreme compliment, and I appreciate the compliment itself as well Thank you!

Hey man, sorry about that the posts kind of blended into each other. Yeah love the wood underbelly of the library, it didn't get a lot of attention in the initial renders but it's looking awesome.

No need to be sorry, my photos being mistaken for Surreal's makes me think I'm on the right track with this urban photography thing

Yeah it really is a fantastic building though, we're really lucky to have it here.

So was this always known to be the case?

$4 million in additional operating costs compared to the existing central library. I know it is a bigger building, but that seems high to me.

Not surprising it will cost more, in addition to being larger, I imagine they will offer more programming.

It's weird. I thought the LRT power lines were going to be an eyesore, but for some reason I like the look of them in with the library.

That head on shot, looking at the "Bow" of the library if you will...

Hi,
From the Looks of It, Looks Like 8th Ave S E is Getting its Just Repairs, Also Those L R T Overhead is Part of the Project. Over All It Looks OK Really. Just
Wondering if Any Decisions have Been Made of the Old Bldg for Future Use - if Any,
Tnx,
Operater.

Does anyone know the timeline for the public art to be installed at the library? Looking forward to seeing the 'drinking birds'.
