As for the atrium, you think they could relocate their half-used trading floor to another space and open the atrium back up - open it up already you bastards!!!

Have they redone the food court? It is (was) by far the crappiest of the big tower food courts.

Hopefully once the new RBC tower is complete, they'll be able to relocate their trading floor and open up the atrium. Wishful thinking, but it seems logical.

As has been pointed out, the new RBC 'obstacles' might keep out a semi-trailer but......, was their architect influenced by André Maginot? We want answers!

Doric? Shocker, how pedestrian. I would have figured you for a composite, or at least corinthian kinda' guy.
