Very nice place, I walked by it and explored the lobby. The train station and everything in Dresden was fabulous. The level of attention to detail in the architecture is amazing.
NJ seems like a wreck after seeing this. I notice there's been no significant activity on here in almost a week. My questions are unanswered. I don't understand the mentality. Everyone seems to have an opinion but no one has any facts? Teddy's comments were very interesting, he was apparently involved in the 80s, Would you post some more of your recollections? You commented that I share Werner's concerns about lighting. Is he still here? Seems to be the resident expert. The basics of good planning and design are obvious if you know the subject. How can the members of this board come to any conclusions about the redevelopment without the needed knowledge base? Is the AP redevelopment moving forward or not? It the whole thing in bankruptcy? Is there construction activity during the winter? Oakdorf's comment about measuring success by his kids having jobs and reading history books is laughable. If that's the majority opinion AP is doomed.
