Look what we found when the stucco came off the Front Street side of the building!
Progress continues apace, with nothing huge to report other than the fact that the place sure looks different than it did only two weeks ago. The hoods are in place in both the main and kosher meat kitchens, 99% of the drywall is finished, doors are being hung and some final surface treatments are actually being applied. We have a good ways to go, but Front & Palmer is really taking shape.

The ceiling grid in our offices goes in.
We would have liked to keep the ceilings in the office open to the iron beams and flooring above us, but it would have meant not only heating and cooling more cubic footage (= more $), but also more expensive light fixtures and more expensive hvac ductwork. It’s a little sad, but way short of terrible.

A view of some of the kitchen, with the exhaust hood in the background.
Hmmmm, probably need a wide angle lens to show the whole kitchen, but you can see where the stoves will go. The open space will be filled with chefs’ work tables.
