So no street level retail space now?

it was always going to be more of a pop-up/incubator retail space

Must say, big fan of the job they've done so far. Looks fantastic.

Indeed.  Very impressive.

Oh wow. They've done a very impressive job with that space.

Just absolutely stunning. Can't say enough about how faithful this beautiful rework is to the original, and still incorporates modern technology and materials. I remember this library from many trips as a child, and this looks familiar and nostalgic to me. I would love to see it, I hope some public access will be allowed.

Congratulations to all involved with this.

Totally. I'm really impressed with how it looks. There are some things about the building I still don't like (mostly the brick wall on Forsyth), but overall it looks good. Down the road, I'd love them to take what wall out and do retail space.

Tacachale

That would be really cool. Maybe at some point that can be added.
