asnwer the qeustion about what you ment by Disney like qualitys that make you puke? What did you mean? Modern? New? I don't see any of these buildings renderings looking like Disney. I vision Disney with oversized archiectural elements. Bright colors, kiddie looking stylings. Fake facades, ones that look obvious fake on purpose almost. For me it's any of those homogenized looks; you might be anywhere in the USA; no local color. Similar to the mall's cafe area -- faux "boardwalk" -- then foolishly, they hang pictures showing AP's real bw from back in the day. Packaged nostalgia, like the decor in Appleby's, just makes me yearn even more for authenticity. Jimmys, not the Olive Garden. Nino's, not Panera's. Maybe it's too late for all that. **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music. (http://music.aol.com/grammys/pictures/never-won-a-grammy?NCID=aolcmp003000000025 48)
