Steve makes a great point on his blog. Well, he poses it as a question, but I will answer it here. That rendering looks like a standard Holiday Inn Express. If McDonalds, Hampton Inn, etc. can all manage to build brick buildings in Bricktown, then these people should have to do the same. Even saying that, they shouldn't get to do this project. They should either have to use an existing building (there a few large empty buildings that could hold a hotel this size) or build on a parking lot. Haven't we torn down enough buildings??
