Some photos from yesterday, 8/24/18, around town.
The Exchange is up to the 12th floor now. More photos
here.
Grand traverse Distillery is moving into the former Winston's on Michigan Ave.
I noticed that Downtown Kalamazoo Inc. has moved across the street to the long-vacant Jim Gilmore building.
Close-up of the new signage on the doors. Nothing has been done to the dated exterior.
Inside the (former bank) atrium of Peregrine 100.
Friday means Lunchtime Live in Bronson Park. Grabbed some good food and noticed this encampment, a mix of homeless people and activists, who have been protesting some recent ordinances under consideration by the city to curb where homeless folks can sleep. They're calling it "Occupy Kalamazoo".
Since the protest started early this week, things have been pretty civil. Just a few feet away, children were playing on / in this giant inflatable dinosaur.
A couple of the food trucks. The selection has grown and gotten better each year.
First Congregational Church is still undergoing some restoration work. This project has been going for at least two years.
I think this crane is for the Borgess vertical surgery center addition. I'll try and get closer to it at some point.
Lot 2, at the corner of Lovell and Rose, soon to be torn up for new housing.
Bronson's rehab of the Kalamazoo Gazette building.
251 E Lovell - nearly done with regrading.
Not sure what is going on at Zoetis, but half the parking lot has been cleared and some holes have been dug. Building Restoration Inc. is on site, so maybe they are doing some sort of mitigation? Or maybe just reconstructing a parking lot, but this seems excessive. I can't find any news about there being a possible addition, and I didn't risk trying to get closer for pictures; the area is under pretty tight security.
These guys seemed to be pouring a new slab out front.
Excavating / utility work is ongoing at Lot 9 / 180 E Water St.
