Public Square
The public square is surrounded by the original buildings from the old technical school that was home to such luminaries as Peter Stringfellow, and a dynamic new building fronting onto West Street. These buildings house 9 individual bars and restaurants and the 4 star hotel. The square is marked with an illuminated water feature and a tree lined square. Benches specially designed for the square have been cast by an artist out of Bronze and will provide resting places under the trees around the central square. The new angular building is built from locally sourced stone and genuine bronze cladding.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or square:
“... until both employers and workers groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about ignorant and unfair public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877?)
“I walked by the Union Square Bar, I was gonna go in. And I saw myself, my reflection in the window. And I thought, I wonder who that bum is. And then I saw it was me. Now look at me, Im a bum. Look at me. Look at you. Youre a bum.”
—J.P. (James Pinckney)
