$10.10/hr. Can you tell? He didn’t have many options after flunking out at Wesleyan.

I appreciate the effort, but given the ill-appearing scale and sense of purpose, I can't help but think they would have been better off finishing them both in a Pan Pacific finned motif with informational signage in the lower 8'.

how well is he paid?

This has been a bizarre project. For something so simple, it sure is taking a long time. I heard a rumor that they have one, lazy part-time worker named Madison working on this project. He gets to it when he can.

Far from perfect but also far better than it began. I'm glad they decided to improve the towers.

The windows need to go. If they weren't there, it would look way better.

.. or even PVC.

Much more likely they are fiberglass than concrete.

Again, I give them points for effort. I don't know if this was in the works from the beginning, or if someone looked at those bunkers and decided that something had to be done. I have to assume the latter, since if one planned to theme them from the start, one would have come up with a design more suitable to theming. As it stands, the buildings don't really look like anything recognizable. One of them looks like a guard tower for a high-security retirement community, while the other looks like the last Lego brick from a set someone is throwing away. The way they randomly intersect the fencing and planters doesn't help things.

What a mess

It's finally getting there ... thanks for the photo update!

Photo update as of Saturday, December 2, 2017. While not all sides have been updated, additional design details have been added to the blue projection tower (pre-cast concrete). Now, the two towers match their respective sides of the park. The art deco blue tower is similar to the Frozen Sing-Along theatre architecture, and the beige, tile-roofed tower is similar to the Brown Derby building.
