Alchemy?

If you put a small piece of land and an unattractive building design together what do you get? You get the drab 1970s maybe 80s design of “Alchemy” on R Street. Granted, it’s probably better than a vacant, weed-covered lot, but not by much. It would have been nice if the architects had actually looked at the building-scape of the area and done something classy. All I can say is I’m not impressed. And to call it ‘alchemy’ as if they’re making gold out of…crud is misrepresenting things. They may make a buck, but they’re turning potential gold into a drab boring landscape. More like alchemy backwards.

    Yeah, interesting name. Since Alchemy, if I’m not mistaken, was one of those sciences that, like, never really was a science, it seems like a bad name.

    Like naming a boat “Flounder,” right?
