A couple thoughts I will share:

1) the only cool thing about the building is the fire escape with chain link fence. If Hunam's housed their workers there and there was a pai gow or dice game with guys squatting around a plastic bucket everyone would love it. Let's keep the infrastructure and work on the culture here.

2) the wall is a wall.

3) the vinyl does suggest some sort of horrific Beijing suburb, but again see 1).

4) The front looks like 2am "nachos." If it had some sort of red brick facade and bleah-de-bleah I think we could live with it.

We should do some sort of championship themed artwork on the windowless mega wall. Kings of the Mountain or something with Willie holding a bunch of trophies sitting on a mountain or something. That or a large beer or liquor advertisement.

windows are expensive

I'm pretty sure that wall was built to hide the ugly apartments behind it. A window would just defeat the purpose.

Fun fact, Belvis is a well known brick lover. His whole house in Old Leawood is covered with bricks. That's just the way he rolls.

If anybody knows of a good salvaged brick sale, PM me.

I can't get my hands on enough of the stuff.

If you go to Aggieville and have eyes, take a barf bag.

If you like Beijing style tenements consider yourself in for a real treat.
