Blame Mondo for exaggerating. I do agree that he's kind of spinning the yarn for the worse in this regard, as it will give people a false ideal of what it is (when there have been others who have said otherwise).
Spinning the convo to the wall though, I wonder what the final paint color will be of the wall when they finish. While they could go with the same color of the retaining wall that was there--I kind of hope they commission Tristan Eaton to do another set of murals. Doubt it, but it'd be cool to see a pop of color for the walls (or if nothing else, maybe billboards like what's over on RoTM).
