We think it looks better this way

Some general exterior and interior sprucing-up is going on at Morgan Junction’s big beige public-housing building, Cal-Mor Circle, and this weekend it looks rather Christo-like:

Yeah, I saw it this afternoon as well. It’s funny, it reminded me of my childhood days in Florida. That’s what houses used to look like when they were professionally fumigated.

My wife and I both said the same thing this morning. If they wrapped the whole thing in lemon-yellow poly and left it, it would look better than anything else they could do to that monstrosity.

You know, I might be in the minority here, but I think the building could look pretty cool – if done correctly. If they’re not going to knock it down, then sprucing it up is the next best thing.
