I was actually just thinking about this this morning (I came across those pics last night while browsing the online archives - which I love to geek out on before bed sometimes.) As nice as that street scape was, I'm not that sad to see it replaced by City Park. Aside from its surface parking, it's really quite a handsome complex (more so than Village Green across the way.)
I believe they developers were originally permitted to erect 5 buildings instead of three, but thankfully, they chose to eliminate 2 buildings for the surface parking and lawns. Somehow, I don't think City Park would have been so appealing with that many buildings so close that you could spit onto the opposite balcony.
