The shop was screened from the rest via some trees and shrubs, making it basically invisible. This resulted from a situation where the guy with most of the chips, if you will, did not negotiate with the guy with one chip, the latter using that chip to the end and forcing some redesign on the part of Pelli to deal with the shop's presence. Looking at Google Street View* Hugo's is now gone, something Sherman does not mention or explain, unfortunately.<br /><br />*All but the last Google Maps views embedded into the above post should be Street Views, though looking at it on the iPad only the maps appear, something I hope is not the case on laptops, desktops, etc.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-1003715415662463462010-06-29T16:31:37.680-04:002010-06-29T16:31:37.680-04:00Really interesting.

And only a few have any real chips at all. And the house is really running the game. (?)<br /><br />Maybe the book asks some questions like these?thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18056816250887813090noreply@blogger.com
