[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was an article a few years back that city centre dc sucked all the luxury life from FH--a lot of the stores moved. Honestly, with city centre even more plagued by crime, perhaps they'll all come back. I am devastated that they didn't maintain the Mazza facade--it was weird but interesting--they could have blown out the back with something glass, airy and outward looking. Whatever, I'm sure they'll replace it with something horrendously nonedescript with some luxury condos tacked on. Not sure that will be a big win.[/quote]

…and yet in 50 years there will be a group of people trying to get historic designation for the “horrendously nondescript” building going up as we speak.

Mazza was just as nondescript as any other modern building…and many buildings constructed 50 or 70 or 100 years ago.[/quote]

it just wasn't. It had a striking architecture. You might not have liked it, but it was bold. [/quote]
