bringing that up into the case you're trying to make! :-) The
stucco used could have been done the cheap with, foam board covered
in a skim coat. That is how most stucco jobs are done today.
However, the boardwalk buildings were done the right way with multi
steps and real metal mesh.<<<<
Color has everything to do with how things are perceived and
marketed. A black building gives a different feeling than a white
building. You mis-understood what I ment by quality, i was refering
to architectural quality, although the building materials are
questionable also.
> You speak about the 5th ave pavilion, the one next to CH
(Convention Hall). How is it out of place of mismatched? How does
the current building, before it was remodeled fit in with the CH?
Classical stylings next to space age modern? The only thing
matching were the orange bricks and orange details of the HOJO.<<<<
Isnt it obvious?, one end is orange, the middle is cream snd the
other end is yellow. I wasnt comparing it to the convention center,
its a building unto itself whose parts are mismatched. Cartoon
architecture. My understanding is that it had nothing to do with
HoJo (the design), but you are getting to the point, the whole
building matched originally, orange brick, details, etc.
> The 5th ave pavilion is not the state capital or a classy
building. If you were to paint 2 walls of the CH different colors,
that would be maddness. However, the building you speak of was
always corky (again, before the remodel). Back when it was first
built it was space age modern, jetsons, i'm pretty sure it was ahead
of it's time back then. Imagine what people might have said about
it when it went up? Something that crazy being sat next to CH??
I'm sure there must have been quite the uproar.<<<<
Not a classy building? WoW you must not get out often {a joke}. Ive
been to a lot of places and never seen anything like that. It is
soo cool and unique, but now looks nothing like when it was designed
and built. Have you ever been to Wildwood, NJ? They really take care
of their 50s and 60s, buildings. Here they all got ruined, the
Empress is another example, I'm wondering why.
> I don't think the things being done so far are cheap, but
confused may be a better way to define it. Things are not done,
nothing is completed, yet things are trying to open. They are way
behind on the dates they gave, it's a fact! But instead of
complaining about it (not you), I say let them work and try to get
things done. Of course I think the city should come up with some
sort of an agreement with MM to get some things for the boardwalk
that the city wants also. Maybe more boardwalk type food, or
other "traditional" boardwalk features.<<<<
