Sorry to keep you in suspense but get ready to jump up and down with me! Yesterday they poured the concrete! Well, they poured the concrete for the sidewalk and still

Now we have a sidewalk!

need to finish pouring the apron...isn't that a nice term? That's the area that intrudes into our space and slopes towards the street. I'll call it the apron and then it doesn't seem so ugly and in all actuality the slope is not too bad and will be hardly noticeable. So apron it is! And pour it they will - this week!

Ok, so now we have concrete...how about an opening date? Hold your horses everyone! First things first. We need some keys to the space and before we get keys we need doors. The rumor is that the doors will be in by next week and we may...just may have keys by the end of the week!

Have you ever seen prettier concrete?

But keys alone does not a clinic make. The keys are the real starting line - that's when we get to build. I am very sure there will be headaches and hiccups to come but I will just feel a little better knowing that we can start building and look towards an opening date. I've been getting lovely emails, comments and calls wondering when that day will be...

I'm shooting for Leap Day - February 29th!
