They started putting up the corrugated metal sides last week, and they're horribly ugly. I'm going to wait to pass judgment until the overall design becomes more clear. But if what they have up now is any indication of the final product, our City Market will be an embarrassment, nothing more than a big, ugly pole barn.
I have a bad feeling that the corrugated metal is the facade. Looking at how it's colored different to bottom would suggest that. That being said I really, really hope that I'm wrong.
As for the pavilion, that will be easy enough to build at a later date, and I'm sure they will.
The renderings certainly do make it look that way. If that does turn out to be the facade it will be pitiful, lets hope for the best, even if it's a partial brick facade.
