If they wanted more commercial space could they have not incorporated it into the perimeter of that prison warehouse looking Sharon, instead of dooming Katie Belles? They could have had their theater and a bustling beautiful building. The idea of The Sharon makes no sense in a Square, fully one forth of the square will now be dead ugly unused space the vast majority of the time. Will it be used daily by the residents?

Yes yes yes... the developer has a right to do whatever they want with their hard earned money, and yes they are most likely smarter than the rest of us. The question is ... is it ugly? Does it belong in a square? I would do this post as a survey if I knew how and had the rights.

PS...Why do some people never ever criticize the developer?

They are not God.

To answer your question directly, NO, the Sharon is not ugly, but your post is.

We had the extreme pleasure of attending the Charter High School's "The Show Must Go On" program. Obviously you didn't. You really missed something spectacular. The Sharon is not as glitzy on the inside as we had expected, but a far cry from ugly. We welcome it to our community and are looking forward to future happy times there.

Life is grand. You should try to enjoy it instead of spending time looking for negatives.
