Yowzers that’s a pretty sweet renovation.

Wish they used those street lights on Georgia Ave, instead of the ones that point straight up into the night sky. They illuminate my bedroom ceiling as much as they light up the sidewalk, maybe more.

Could they only afford two colors of paint? Nice but fairly home-depot-ey.

I disagree – I hardly think this building is representative of an awesome renovation. However, that being said, of course the latter pic is far better than the original pic. All I’m saying is that the renovation seems ordinary and I would walk by the building a thousand times and not think twice about it. I take it that Mark’s explanation does a good job, though, to explain why it is rather neutral.
