Fairview Park Mall - Grand Market District

Also: we're losing the famous scalloped-concrete facade on Sears.

Seems weird to destroy an interesting, will-be-historical-before-too-long-if-it-isn’t-demolished, architectural feature while building new faux-historical architectural features.

Overall it looks interesting, although I think the illustrated area adjacent to Fairway itself with benches and so on is fantasy land — it’s just not a pleasant place to be. Also if they’re building that much there should be at least roofs covering the pedestrian crosswalks. There is no good reason why people should have to get rained on when they’re just walking from one building on the property to another.
