wood? "A fireproof wood achieves the highest class in burning test thanks to an invisible coating". https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/invisible-coating-fireproofs-wood

Heavy timber framing doesn't require an additional fireproof coating. It already does that naturally by just being wood. The columns are sized appropriately to allow for a certain depth of charring to occur, leaving the center, un-burnt portion of the column to still maintain its structural integrity. Once the member is charred to a certain amount, it stops burning, forming a protective coating around it.

This building will have a huge presence from 40.

^ Agreed. It's already super obvious. I was actually a bit surprised while driving through recently.

That's awesome, can't wait until they switch over to mass timber.

Noticed the Puttshack sign is up on my drive into work this AM. Really liking the signage game in the Foundry joining Alamo and Fresh Thyme

Facebook advertising has been hitting me hard with Puttshack and I’m excited for it. You can get a free game if you sign up now. Anybody know opening date? Website as of 5 days ago hadn’t announced it yet.

Was down there today. Putt shack pics. Wasn’t where I expected it to be in there.

Went to Alamo Drafthouse last night. It was packed – I think every movie was sold out. Really cool space. The customer service was pretty bad but it was their second night I think so to be expected.

The rest of the Foundry was busy too. We had to pack at Ikea because the entire garage was full. Puttshack was having a test run too. Looked like they were letting their employees play to learn how it worked before they open Monday.

I’m happy to hear it’s still going well. I’ll have to stop by while I’m in town.

Is there someplace right now where the customer service isn't bad because everyone is understaffed?

Puttshack is blasting out hiring ads left and right looking for people. My social media is crawling with it I think they even have a few billboards about "Now Hiring".

True. Though with Alamo it wasn't a worker shortage issue, workers were just getting used to the system. Alamo offered a "training" discount to make up for it.

And it's not like they can pull trained staff from other local theaters the way if AMC or Marcus opened a new location.

Yes (I think so), the apartment building will have 480 spaces for about 270 units.

Was down there again tonight. Planned to go to the fountain on locust but it was a 2.5 hour wait so foundry was our backup. I was surprised how many stalls were closed by 7. At least 4 or 5 were closed already. It was pretty busy, we had trouble finding a table to sit at, but also had a group of 9. Putt shack had some kind of event going on and seemed pretty full. The garage wasn’t full but was close. Mostly only parking left on the top deck.

I was there earlier in the day to hit their winter market and do some last minute shopping. It was the busiest I've ever seen it. I would reckon that some of the early closures you saw were from selling out. At 1:00pm Kalbi was already out of half their menu

Has anyone seen them put the gate in place that "protects" the upper deck parking so that cars can't come up any further? That way Fresh Thyme doesn't get "their" parking taken over.

We walked into putshack today and it was sold out until midnight. It was insanely busy, but we were able to sit at the bar to observe. It is a very cool space and can’t wait to go back to actually play.

Went to Alamo for the first time yesterday afternoon. Not too popping but overall a pretty good experience.. I personally don't do 'service' theaters and usually stick to Hi Pointe but pretty cool system. Staff were great.. I imagine they probably can clean up with tips.

You can book online through their website. They look pretty solid the rest of this week and my guess is walk-ins on weekends will be impossible.

Went to the Foundry the other night and it was absolutely packed. Ate at PuttShack and had a genuinely good time.

Unfortunately upon leaving I found my car was broken into. A classic smash and grab. I came to find that at least five other cars were smashed open as well. One family said they saw the perpetrators still inside their car rummaging around when they were heading out. These people were from the county and said this is the type of thing that makes them think twice about coming to the city. This all happened in the parking lot by the new apartment building. This back lot is dark, out of the way and could definitely use more lighting. Though a shame, I realize that this is just part of living in the city and look forward to heading down to City Foundry again. This time with more precautions.
