[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grit will come as the shine wears off. [/quote] This. "Why didn't they build an OLD building?" is about the stupidest anti new urbanism take there is. [/quote] This is one of the reasons I slightly prefer Navy Yard to the Wharf, though I can see the benefit of each. Navy Yard has been developed slowly, by multiple builders. A few of the old actual "Navy Yard" buildings have been preserved and repurposed like the boilermaker shops and lumber shed. The Wharf had multiple architects but was redeveloped en masse. There wasn't much to preserve other than the fish market, or what was there couldn't be preserved while creating a more vibrant urban environment. That, plus the mix of restaurants seem more geared toward special event dining than the variety of price points available in the Navy Yard.[/quote] I tend to think of the Wharf along with other nearby areas in SW DC though.
