The brick above the cornice part still baffles me.. and apparently they have no concept of symmetry when it comes to punching vents in, but it's coming along at least - the back imo looks the best lol.. but yeah.. those white bricks.. so distracting.. you have to struggle to even look at the bricked in windows design on the side..
I am not even sure the white was INTENTIONAL - seems like salt leech as the white is uneven on each of them.. kinda bizarre.. I'd like to know the story behind that - It's most jarring on the east side but at least the real windows on the other faces help to break it up a bit..

Yeah, the white brick almost looks like scuffed red brick...

considering what used to be here, I think we're just nitpicking. Even if the original brick could have been refinished, no guarantee it would have been better. I welcome this podium, its much closer to what this group wants to see than many others.

That was truly such an eyesore - it's crazy how much this intersection has changed (for the better)

Yup I'd have to agree with you on that.
And IamNotaRobot, there is nothing wrong with being nitpicky - never settle I say - even though it IS better than what was there, it could have been even better.

Ah i remember the good old days where I would wait for the convoy of HSR buses in front of the narrow sidewalks at bus stop here at King and Caroline, while looking into that sad car dealership directly opposite me. Wow have the times changed.
Everything except for the convoy of HSR buses which still travel in a pack, but at least there's finally some change in Hamilton.

That is quote the different view now! I'm sure it will continue to change and densify over the next decade.

Planned tower crane removal has been scheduled for February 13-14 between 7am to 7pm
It was originally planned for January 27-28 but it was postponed because of cold weather and wind conditions.

Visited the site today. Fairly ho-hum materials and I'm not very confident about its presence at street level once finished.
