ReplyDeleteI have to nominate the work done for Mrs Huizenga. Before that building was redeveloped, the building and other stores around it looked old and derelict.

The Starbucks building has only improved its corner, while the Mrs Huizenga building has inspired the whole street.
ReplyDeleteI nominate the building that (unfortunately) houses the Concourse Restaurant and the Galaxy Donuts
