Progress

No, seriously . . . if you look in the front corner of the house on the left hand side of the picture, you can see a guy working. I think you can even see the blur of a hammer.


It will be interesting to see what this duplex shapes up to be, but it doesn't look like the usual monsterous blob. In fact, it looks rather small compared to the other projects in the neighborhood. It is missing the usual, random step-ins and bump-outs in the side elevations that are de rigueur for new duplexes in old neighborhoods.


On a side note, Dempsey has a lumpy head, I think he is part T-Rex which would explain his mood swings, but he sure is cute.


If you look closely in the background, you can see the second net on the courts is down. Dempsey tried to jump the net to fetch the tennis ball, missed, and took the whole thing down with him.

Pajama Baking Company now has signs. There are piles of boxes inside, some display cases set up, and some shelving with a pretty minimal stock right now. I can't wait for this place to open, they need to get a move on! Especially in light of this article . . .


This block of Old South Pearl Street is just about all storefront, garage door opening-ed out. Between PBC and The Crushery which seems to have customers on occasion (after my first experience there I have been hesitant to make use of the free sandwich coupon I have . . . uhhhhh), somebody is bound to make a mistake and try to drive through.

If the part about Dempsey taking down the net were true, it would be really funny.

I could totally see him trying for the leap, tearing everything down, and then come running back to you with this look of "what, I didn't do anything..." It was a blast playing with him, go out of town more often!!

In light of finding your blog page, I am disappointed to hear your first experience at the Crushery left you puzzled and not wanting to come back even to use a free coupon you received. I am the owner and with us opening 3 months ago the response has been very positive; however your response in this blog is one i am interested in. if i don't ask why you had a bad experience then how are we do better in the future? your response is appreciated. chefjohd@thecrushery.com-Michelle
