Name on the building

Some times having you name on the building isn't so great....

I worked on this project for my first "real job."  It's nice that the facility gets a lot of use, but it's a shame that they can't keep up with the maintenance.

i havent been to a bus station that isnt a bit run down. it has a lot to do with who takes a bus - financially. and of course its public. the right materials for places like this are - granite, stainless steel, and security glass. you do anything else it will wear and fail.

Public facilities are intentionally underfunded so that they will be seen as failures, justifying their privatization for profit. Think Corrections Corporation of America.
