Detail pic of the sign going up:


I also peeked in a gap of the papered windows at Milio's after noticing the lights were on. There was at least one guy in there, so something is happening, or at least being explored.

I don't like how it blocks the second floor windows but man, that galloping neon horse is going to look awesome at night!

[seanrichardryan]

So, the sign covers the upstairs windows. Is it 1960?

[MNdible]

What a strange design decision...

[Nathan]

I think it would look great if they installed it at an angle, the bottom flash with the building and the top a foot or two removed. Interesting concept, wonder if it's reclaimed.

[twincitizen]

Safe to assume that's an office or apartment upstairs, right? How do they get away with blocking the windows, even if the windows are still technically operable behind the sign?

[winterfan]

I love the new paint color on the upper floor and the brick looks great. Nice improvement of the building.

I dig the look! If I recall correctly this sign is from the old Hagen's Appliances in Seven Corners.

That's a high quality rendering they have there.

Sounds like this one's a Dunn deal.

Lin Dunn.

Looks like devoted fans of the chain will have to go elsewhere to satisfy their Dunn woody.

[jw138]

I Dunno what I'd do without all the great puns here.

[Ohiosotan]

Bean to both Carley Coffee and Urban Bean. With similar prices Urban Bean is the clear winner: better product and more variety.

[GILBball]

Looks like some of the 'For Lease' signs have come down in the old Falafel King space. Maybe something happening here again?
