This building had few face lifts. I hope It doesn’t turn into one of those excessive nip-tuck jobs we see in Beverly Hills plastic surgery disasters. But really, what is there to lose?
Hopefully they might do few daring acts as they have short listed some creative people. I would have preferred a Los Angeles architect for the dire local economy, but also think a fresh pair of eyes from Italy wouldn’t be so bad either.
Wonder if Massimiliano will have his free interns working on this one!
Found this really old photo of the intersection...
