You're talking about the gaping lot next to the Garden, right? Next to the concrete wall/projection screen?
I've always though it would be wicked cool to have a hotel there, that mimicked the facade of the old Garden. I guess it wouldn't need to be a hotel, but it would certainly be appropriate. A few killer bars/restaurants/clubs on the first few floors. Maybe a sweet sports merchandise store. Perhaps a big-name heavy hitter, like ESPN Zone or NBA City?

Between that old hotel and the old North/Union Station, this area used to be beautiful. It's such a shame we lost so many beautiful buildings.
