    Turns out you're right.

    So, there's a tall hurricane fence with a banner on it describing what's taking place.  

    There are shipping containers across the property, (N/S) from the closest to the back property line as possible to about 12, 15" south of the RR building.  They have vertical portions of the walls removed, which will become floor-to-ceiling windows (apparently).  Between the shipping containers and the RR building, there is space enough left to construct a two storey entry-hall, apparently all glass (I'm assuming there's a bit of artistic license involved).  In front of this conglomeration is a parking area.  The entire project appears to take up all of the empty lot in between RR and Decades, the used-furniture store on the corner.  

    Currently, RR is back to it's old ways, in celebration of the storied years of business catering to some of the finest men on Earth.  However, it's only the postlude to the final hurrah, which may take place in June.  Went over for a beer, as I sometimes do before heading over to Slammer.  Last night it was like the old nights of debauchery - I never did get to Slammer.  

    So, all you guys that can, get over there for a couple of last nights:  as someone once said: "everything changes at some point".  The prelude to the Requiem is already wafting through the evening breezes.  

    There are a lot of guys who bought homes in the area over the years, for exactly the same reason: proximity to RamRod.  I just hope that not all of them ditch too.  Housing prices have been through the roof around here, but the retrenchment has already begun.  Not much selling above 5.50 K anymore, and most right around 5.  

     

    The city is changing fast, first Chubby Hole went. Oh well still have the Eagle.
