I have to agree with you there. I also struck me that they didn't quite put as much effort into the display either. I mean, come on, all they had in the second bedroom was a lamp! They had way more time to get up a decent display then some.
Then again, I suppose if you're looking to rent, I wouldn't look at too much more than the basics. And variety is nice; any units that can be built downtown is a plus in my book.
Yeah, I looked in at Dubliner's too...they're getting the wood paneling up. I wonder if they'll stain it darker?
I found it odd that they painted the brick walls white, obscured the cool-looking columns by painting them, and used off-white outlets/light switches/switch plates (kinda 80's looking). On the plus side, the west-facing views are really great.
I was wondering about the wood paneling at The Dubliner's as well.
