We have too many buildings in this town and not enough architecture. There's a real tendency in this community to want everything to look the same. The Strip is allowed to do anything, but once you get off the Strip, there's very little originality.

It's become much more a part of the community now. The positive comments from outsiders have helped the community embrace it even more.

To have somebody of his caliber in this town can only help the rest of us.
