Not that I mind it all too much. Some of the gritty dirty stuff could go or get a facelift. Just don’t make it into a haven for prefabricated and boring condos. Personally, I’m kind of excited about the new Office Depot on Gaston. The Starbucks is definitely a worthwhile investment (listen up, Deep Ellum) but if people are going to come in and build condos and make it look like Oak Lawn where there are a bunch of nice buildings but no one living there, then, I’d just as soon prefer them to stay out.
McShane Companies is coming in to make it a little more purty in my neck of the woods. Their buildings don’t look so bad but I just hope they know how to fit in. I just hope my superhero friend who lives there knows about this.
