They could always place a big spy glass up on top of the building and point the sunlight down to the pool.

There is a city in Norway where they did something like that.  And you know I always say what's good for Norway is good for SoBro.

Personally, this is the ugliest garage cover I think I've seen.  There are a few others that are bad...but this one looks like a giant grey wall from 100 ft away.

More like the old IBM punchcards.  But ugly any way you "slice" it.  

Maybe we should have a contest for the worst garage screen.  Fifth and Broadway will be a contender.

Some of the protective film has been removed, the screen will be white rather than gray. From today:

Yeah......i wanted to see how they dismantled the base since it was in the middle of Molloy St.   Thanks for pointing it out, because my old eyes wouldn't have noticed it.

I can answer that for you, they’ve been jackhammering away at it for the past week and a half.
