I had seen this in the hard copy version of Metropolitan as I have a subscription, but I didn't realize they had the whole thing on-line until now:

That will be an awesome shot 10 years from now...

That looks nice. I hope they don't tear down those old mills. We need to use them as architecture in the Core to Shore. This is our history, let's keep it.

I dunno, I value progress in the area. I'm looking forward to a (hopefully) hotel high rise and convention center in that lot. Core to Shore will be awesome.

All the Core to Shore renderings show those silos gone.

It might be cool to turn them into some sort of funky adaptive reuse but that's probably not going to happen.

Grain silos = unique convention spaces

I'm so glad he chose to stay here. If it weren't for him and his leadership, we would be a much blander city. Now we just need him to design a new signature tower for downtown.
