Bacon-dusted nachos?

The Apocalypse Now burrito?

Also, I wonder if Key Bank still has the 19th century phoenix sculpture in there that they inherited from Canal Bank.

I'm afraid no matter what they do, the place is always going to look dingy.

I am hoping that the painted over plywood motif is temporary.

Canal Plaza from above. This was an impressive development back in the 70's when you consider that the three buildings have a combined 20 floors of office and retail space. The mechanical crown on 3 Canal Plaza could use a fresh coat of paint! LoopNet photo

So ... the latest thing I've seen is that they took out the trees on the Union Street side. And all of the big trees behind the buildings in the back (by the garage and along where Novare Res is). Walking up "Patton Court" behind Exchange Street and next to the garage has much improved. It used to be sketchy.

This will make the area feel more open and safe. Though I wonder if any ideas of developing the lot are still being considered.

I also wonder if they could expand One Canal Plaza toward Union Street where the trees were cleared. I doubt they would develop something else there, but you never know.

Heck, they could always move the electrical to this little spot and free up the square of real estate behind the parking garage for development.

Thoughts?
