2. si c’est comme sur les previews, ca va etre beau et ca faire du bien a ce coin la de st catherine qui ressemble a bagdhad.

3. Apparently it is going to be a gigantic underground network of pipess that will transform the new plaza into a giant fountain when desired. Looking FWD to when they try testing it out on unsuspecting tourists!
