Just as well, it was going nowhere and getting there fast anyways...

However, Rotterdam has some pretty cool architecture.
From the "swan" bridge to the shopping mall that looks like a vagina (I kid you not!)... Lots of cool things and excellently lit.

Hahah!! Checked out the link and found one that's going to be built in Toronto at Yonge & Bloor. The picture is great, but they missed a few details:

1) garbage;
2) traffic congestion at one of the busiest intersections in the city;
3) the other buildings and storefronts that are actually there now;
4) hotdog vendors;
5) the homeless;
6) pedestrians wearing clothes other than smart business casual; and
7) minorities.

No wonder these buildings look great on paper! I'm no architect, but as for the building it looks like downtown just pulled a switchblade on a stratus cloud. Can't wait!! 😕

Ha! That corner is way tighter than it appears in that drawing. They've already closed off a couple lanes to start construction. Should be THE place to avoid for the next year or so if you're a driver.

Actually, I meant that I'd "master debate" all over the Siamese connections on the first floor.
