Already starting to happen. AOK, the coming soon barcade just across Gaukel from Charlie West, got a beautiful mural painted on the lane side. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3dL7NSgqSy/
Love the mural and love that the entrance is from the lane.

The block of Hall's Lane between Gaukel and Ontario is great for art. The Cafe Pyrus/DNA Printing building has a bunch and so does Grand Trunk Saloon. And then there's scattered tags, doodles and messages in dusty windows.

Oh ok. So is it just a permanent version of a pumping truck?

Is it just me, or has the pace of construction slowed a bit in recent weeks?

They're transitioning from podium to tower, which has some complications. Once the first tower floor is complete it'll really speed up.

I saw today that they have all the forms stacked at the old bus terminal.
Also anyone with a overhead view have any photos? Thank you.
