...with awkward open spaces and not enough couches to go around during social events. The Old Library is more of a space for meetings than hanging out, and the Towers do have the “G-Spot,” which despite its sexy name is a fairly tame common space.

Prisons warehoused the violent and nonviolent with little regard for who could be rehabilitated. It made for award-winning drama, but it also was a reminder that in every American city, neighborhoods remain where violence still reigns...
