see map again - week1 - week2 - week3 - week4 - week5 - week6

week of June 15th - 19th

my guess is they're digging down to the big plumbing (as seen best in the Pigeon's view a few pages back) so they can put a manhole cover to it from street level... nice to see Pewabic being patched back up

black topping getting ready to start!

hard to see from in front of our shop, but we can hear what they're doing down the street ("jackhammering" away at more rock!) - I had a pedestrian stop to visit who said those huge chunks of rock are loaded with copper veins - wonder where those are being dumped, eh?! (be nice if they hit a "motherlode" that could be some nice parking deck funds!!)

I'm sure to some folks this looks boring (especially as we already posted pics of blacktopping in the Ambassador's block) - but to us this is so exciting

no dirt!!!

well, no dirt until you turn and look the other direction... exciting that we have two blocks and two intersections now with no dirt 'n digging any longer!

Tom must find this all interesting yet... I'd rather avoid the construction zone (and the dirt!) which is why I walk on the upper parking deck behind all these businesses when I go down the way

right on the heals of the blacktoppers - they're quick to get pavers down on our block (out in front of Travel Lodge)

almost as much fun to watch the local "foremen" as it is the progression of the work (got them on both sides of the street in this shot)

they're nearly to the corner of our building!

now that we have modern sidewalks again, it's almost shocking to see so many pedestrians come and go... imagine how weird it will be when we start seeing cars go by again!!!

whoo hoo! they're making it to the end of our block before Bridgefest weekend

---

By now you've noticed that we have less then half the photos we normally would... this is because so much of what's happening in front of our shop right now has already been photographed down in the first block - consequently many of our new photos would be nearly identical to those older ones (which would probably get boring for the viewer)

plus we aren't on the "sidelines" of the action any longer so we can't know if an interesting shot is available or not...

and we do have real work to get done so we can't spend our days wandering down the street to hang out and hope for interesting shots...

soooo....

note: we can't guarantee all images offered will make it onto the website... especially if we get a huge response to this invite... also, be aware that no payment will be made for the use of your photos
