This is really sad, my friends and I always wanted to go there and grab a drink with some tourists, guess we can't anymore!
The fact that they're heritage buildings and the great location could make for an unreal project. Personally I've always turned an eye to the garishly painted facade, always thought it was a shame that the buildings were let to look like they belonged in a favella. Looking forward to some announcements and renderings on it this year!
