Edit to the beer garden plans at 744.
Instead of coming into the shell from 4th Street and being greeted with a bar, you'll instead be greeted with a landscaped space with some small trees, bushes, flowers and all that. The concrete pad out back will still include space for two food trucks and tables and chairs. Another change will be the addition of a planter box along the northern most section of this space. This should help add some color back there and absorb some of the sound from the highway. A wooden fence is also still being looked at to block the parking lot behind Nephews off and give extra height to run lights back and forth from the roofline of the garage to the top of the fence. We also had concrete work done, which holds up the side walls from the bottom. With that, the shell is secured. Now comes the fun part (removing graffiti, putting new windows and doors in, and then doing landscaping).
Speaking of Nephews, it is permanently closed. Signage came down today.
And lastly, for the garage, cinderblocks were delivered which will be put together to divide the space into a restroom and back of house purposes. It's full steam ahead now, just waiting on the city to approve the exterior alterations (attached). We don't think we'll be challenged since the only major alterations are removing graffiti and putting new windows in to match the old.
