I wish the sign was redesigned without the Citgo name and the triangle setup as an LED display. The triangle is iconic as is but the gas company association is yuck. Maybe red is the default config for the triangle during most of the day but it could showcase different designs at certain times...

100% some collusion of familial ties, friends, and knowing a guy to get this gross thing designed, skirted past neighborhood review, and built...

The feathers are far too detailed and need a redraw. I don't think most people know what a mayflower actually looks like to make the association (would've been better related to an actual boat motif). Agreed, Mississippi does it better already.

The plaza is perceived as being more hardscaped than in totality because that's what fronts the more active public thoroughfares (because they flipped the lawn and plaza sections). The second photo from in front of Trinity isn't as common a viewshed as along Dartmouth. Also re:Henry, photo was...

The roof on Allegiant stadium is ETFE (fancy clear plastic) and can be specified in different opacities. They definitely chose a more translucent one to mitigate some crazy heat gain from the desert sun. Sofi stadium in southern CA used a slightly more transparent of the same ETFE and they have...

Most of the new planters are very under-planted. Unsure if they have anything planned this season, but it currently adds to the overall barren look. Even with the trees and grass nice and green now.
