too bad they didn't have the location across from them so the windows faced east. The design of that building would have made it an extremely popular place to be in during the fireworks. Of course they could have added glass walls at the back of building as well and then had that area be a sit down restaurant. I would have made reservations to eat there during that time

The patio bar of Tortilla Jo's across from it is perfect for this.

Do you know what else the patio of Tortilla Jo's is perfect for? A wrecking ball.

I know all of Downtown Disney is ugly, but that building really stands out to me as being ugly more than the rest.

I have to agree. Tortilla Jo’s looks like exactly what it is; a late 1990’s design for a restaurant warehouse in a corporate entertainment mall filled with approved “Whimsy!”.

It’s a design that was already a cliche in 1999, and it has aged very poorly since then.

Really, the stuff I love most about Disneyland is the 1950's and 60's parts of the park. Hence why I enjoy Splitsville's design and would love to see all of Downtown Disney take a midcentury look.

I respect your appreciation of vintage Disneyland, however your love of rehashed midcentury designs makes me question your good judgement. :D

Seriously, there are huge chunks of Downtown Disney that just need to be leveled and rebuilt. The 1990's called and they want their mall back.

Lol. It's not so much that I love that architecture (I much prefer Victorian and art deco over midcentury), so much as it is that I love the time period and would love to see Downtown Disney reflect that era. Having a 1950's/60's themed Downtown Disney is probably the best idea for the shopping district as it ties in wonderfully to the park's history.

I see. It also kinda jives with the Southern California resort vibe, much like the design of the new hotel.

I used to be a fan of MCM, but somewhere along my journey this year I got fed up with it. Too many visits to IKEA and Crate & Barrel I guess. I still like the real stuff from the period, but I've had my fill of the current fad.

Speaking of 90s ads, have you ever stopped beside someone at a red light, rolled down your window, and asked, "Pardon me, do you have any grey poupon?"

I could totally see you doing that!
