I have been watching work being done lately on a couple Broadway buildings...
First off this is one I have been looking forward to for some time now...

This building has had a sheet over it for the past few months now and you could never see what it looked like as the work was being done. All anyone knew was that the mural was being taken off and the building was being restored. This morning, while going to get some breakfast, I saw that the sheet had been removed.
Enough blabber. Picture time.

As you can see they are still working on it, I dont know when work will be done, but its coming along nicely.
Another building seems to be getting some love a bit further down on Broadway...

I have been watching them mess around with this one too.

Slowly life returns to Broadway.
On another completely random note, I was wondering if anyone may be able to help me figure out what these businesses and buildings were at one time. There are these signs on the ground here and there, or designs on the sidewalk indicating that there was at one time an entryway to some building/business.
Stationers Corporation?
This design right next to the stationers corporation.
Both of those are directly next to the Alexandria in that parking lot.
Also there are these two as well.
I cant make out what this one is/was. I am guessing perhaps a drug store or something. 4th street between Broadway and Spring.
And Glasgow Tailors? Next to the Hotel Barclay on 4th and Main.
All photos by me.
Can anyone shed some light on these?
