It should serve to liven up residential presence in a downtown that can seem to go into a coma after 5 pm. in the winter.Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-58554767374684422032012-10-04T15:36:33.071-07:002012-10-04T15:36:33.071-07:00I hate to be a Debbie Downer but that sounds like ...I hate to be a Debbie Downer but that sounds like a crappy location for a condo tower...won't it wreck the quaintness of the waterfront area? Wouldn't it fit in better on Douglas or Blanshard somewhere?
