Their primary issues was location; they wanted the building on the sidewalk. Once commissioner, I forget which, didn't want the med style at all, even though a large number of historic commerical spaces in Seminole Heights *are* med style.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, if I recall the plans correctly, the white diamons are where supports will be fixed to the building that hold up a solid "awning". This will make the building more appropriate and less like others in the 'burbs.<BR/><BR/>Also, on the sign issue, the brick wall facing the corner is supposed to be an "old seminole heights" sign and not a huge starbucks sign. I am unsure if it will also say "starbucks" or have a logo too, but it won't be this massive mermaid thing. <BR/><BR/>Grand opening for the store is April 7th. Magic Johnson will be there as this is one of his inner-city type businesses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1142967239699179272006-03-21T13:53:00.000-05:002006-03-21T13:53:00.000-05:00It's not finished yet....It's not finished yet....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11752889.post-1142953635821305282006-03-21T10:07:00.000-05:002006-03-21T10:07:00.000-05:00Am I correct, that the ARC approved the design for...Am I correct, that the ARC approved the design for this Starbucks? I am assuming they were going for a Mediterranean style. However, in my opinion they missed the mark. The building looks like 100 other ones throughout the suburbs, it lacks creativity and style. I don't see how this building compliments the neighborhood other than it's not a vacant lot for people to display their junk cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
