Comment: ms jaded,
 you, ma'am, are correct.  it is one of the dumbest ideas in a long line of dumb ideas put forth by the city.
 the city seems so determined to "leave it's mark" for the future -   i wonder when that mentality took over?  did that come after pulling everything down? and trashing what was?  was it before or after breaking the spirit of a land deed gift by mr skinner, when stealing the land ?  was it before of after the monstrosity of the temple of doom/federal courthouse was built?  was it before or after the building of the "big box" buildings - screw looks - get the max money return per sq ft... before of after the hulking cement buildings, hult, hilton?? or the rain- sky- gray glass buildings yet to come?  my personal favorite to see will be the SHEDD...?  with a glass boxcar looking thing crashed into the side of the original building? that little gem was for the shedd? yes?  can't remember...too many of eugene's beauties distract
