Bloomberg CityLab: "Is This the Future of Urban Resilience?"

From 2013:

This Tim's wasn't the most pleasant location before. It's definitely looking a lot better now; bright and clean. That being said, it could use more decoration to create more visual interest, particularly on the ceiling with the typical office ceiling tiles. Many of the newly renovated locations...
