Hello Stenz,as you well know it seems that this is again someone elses vision of what the cataract city could have been. That along with the loss of the historic core and jobs I hesitate to think that we would have been left with these buildings which could have come straight from the beaches of Hawaii and Aculpoco.But it is refreshing to see what looks like the Hydro Canal at the top left.

A 100% idotic concept that literally ruined the once great city of Niagara Falls, New York.
And 40 years later they are still dreaming of urban renewal.
