Like many others, you are misinterpreting what restoration and
preservation are. Your comment is mixing up issues. Certainly
modernization needs to take place that accommodates current needs of
usability - its called an elevator in your example :-)
And, yes the basic 'bones' of the building are there. That is the
point, it is acknowledged as a significant architectural element
within the landscape. The significant features are its ORIGINAL
materials, colors and finishes. It is a unified concept of design not
a restaurant attached to a bandshell.
'Playing with art deco flair' has no meaning if the building is to be
restored as designed and built architecturally.

Which brings me to that issue. Regardless of what they do to other
buildings the PLAN acknowledges that the Pavilion is historically
significant and specifies that it be restored.
You would not suggest that since they are bringing in top
entertainment that the Paramount be gutted and remodeled or the
Convention Hall be stuccoed over, would you?
One does not ignore significant promises that were negotiated as part
of the deal. ConHall, Casino, and 5th Ave Pavilion - to be retained
and restored.
