Well, I'm glad they're not afraid of colour! Most buildings in the region before the student housing boom were just shades of grey and beige. I'm glad they're using more colour now.

I like it. More attention to the east end and starting to polish up the ghetto area.

Ghetto is Brybeck or Paulander. The east end downtown is just old.

Sorry, I don't think those qualify as "ghetto" or "slum" or "banlieu" either. Low income, yes, but that doesn't automatically make it a ghetto.

I spotted a new piece of equipment on site today. Maybe a shoring drill? I was walking down Cedar, so I didn't get a close look. I'll try to get a better look tomorrow afternoon.
