Skyscrapers?,skyscrapers?,we don't need no stinking skyscrapers!!!! People all.... across the country that think "Castle" will say, "Grand Rapids", without the suffix,"Michigan".

Arched windows how cool. Just like a "Fairytale"!!!

Yesterday before I skipped the get together. I was on the 25 the floor of the Plaza Tower and could see the castle through all of the falling snow. Great views I'll get some pics later.

THANK YOU!!! Grand Rapids City Commision!!!

KIngs, Knights, Serfs!!!

Well I like it.

This thing is gonna be great!!

"Ghost city".

Actually there is no Forest Hill (singular) community other than a road. Kind of like Reedy Creek, Florida the second largest city land wise development in Florida, and nobody lives there, population zero.

OMG!!!

Put the Calder in the middle of a huge fountain and call it a "Watersculpture"!

My niece bartends at the Pickwick. Everbody that she knows, that know everything, don't know anything.l

Got lost looking for the bathroom once.

SHAAAAD!!!!

Pull into an underground bunker fortress of a garage, take two elevators to where you gotta go, leave. No walking to, around or in a building, just halls and corridors. Not very many people to make contact with very sterile. Twenty foot wall along the front block, no outside way to get to street level, elevated walkway across the street "gone". Riding elevators to get to where you have to go with signs on the main floor elevator lobby reading to conserve energy use the revolving door. Few people walk across the plaza to get to the buildings, no need. With the Internet, phones, mail is there really much of a reason the public to go to City Hall? City employees and departments, and commission meetings yes are there but it is a small amount of people. Compare that to the Courthouse and City Hall is dwarfed. Imagine if non governmental buildings were build on top of raised parking garages? There would be absolutely no foot traffic just like City-County plaza. Don't forget to get your parking ramp ticket stamped. I do like the architecture of the buildings just not the application.

I shouldn't even mention it? CASINO!!

That is the "BIG" question? I've paid my tickets and my taxes but let's go hang out at City Hall?

Yes let's let's fix up the plaza so we can have more events and then don't schedule any events???

Like Ron White said," and I hate Thanksgiving." Got it. Sometimes ya just don't pay attention to vacant lots.

I can' t visualize where this property is? By Klingmans and Baker Lofts?

My grandfather graduated with an architecture degree from Georgia Tech in 1931. He managed a clothing manufacturing plant for almost forty years. He never worked as an architect.

Of course. I've been in their buIlding, just north of the GR Ford fwy.

Thanks, good to know. Amazing, fill out some empty paper, to draw out a vacant space.

That two building development is the envy of the people on the Nashville thread.. Along with the JW Marriott, which they are building, and Meijer which they travel to Bowling Green, KY to shop also we got a BIG water.
