I was up there today and, as a pedestrian, totally agree that it's an awful parking lot. There's no clear walkway to go from London Drugs/Cobbs to Market on Yates without navigating the parking lot. And the drivers seem to come at you from all directions. (Though, come to think of it, most mall parking lots are not pedestrian-friendly ...)
Someone will probably accuse me of being a raven lunatic for saying so, but wow did they go overboard with the dark brick on this one. With the dark everything. I'm not saying it looks like murder but I'm just not sure such a one-note vibe is something to crow about.
Methinks the dark brick could have been a refreshing change of gears if only they had set it off with some contrasting lighter window frames, trim, etc.
Gears have nothing to do with crows, in case anyone was trying to work that one out. I shifted from one metaphor to another.
