Re: Civic Square (former Civic Auditorium)

Welp. Disappointing. It's going to look kind of weird in that spot to be honest, if this was say in Lot B (or is it Lot D? I can never remember)? That'd fit well I think. For the Civic site? Naw. Completely agree Imagine this next to the new Kiewit HQ? I think it'd fit great into that area. Oh well.
