Good To Their Word

A while back, I posted/blogged/ranted.....(you know the routine) about an old, but seedy, building that looked to be only moments away from the wrecker's ball.

See "Demo By Neglect" for a refresher.

In case you are too lazy too busy to click that link, here is an old picture of it.

So even though they were promising to renovate this former "budget hotel", I had my doubts.

I walked by there the other day, and couldn't believe what I saw.

Actually, I couldn't believe I had the right building. I had to search around to make sure there was not some other eyesore on a nearby corner.

So although they are not finished, they are certainly giving this place a new lease (maybe even literally as well as figuratively) on life.


I can't really tell if they put on a new façade or whether they just scrapped off all the crappy white paint.

Regardless, a good start anyway.....
