Hi-Lo Diner (4020 Lake St E)
Previously mentioned in the general thread, I've been watching the slooow progress of this project by the folks behind Forage & Brownsmith Restoration.
They've finally cleared the rubble of the old taco hell, leaving two walls standing. Foundations are now in, with the diner portion parallel to the sidewalk and the old structure to the rear. Permits have been pulled with the tenant listed as 'Hi-Lo Diner' . Still looking for submitted plans. Exciting!
(if anyone in Longfellow has something better than a scratched cell phone camera they could grab some pics )
Permits:

I've been staring at that block wall for a while wondering why there's no construction... This is why. Exciting!

Re: Hi-Lo Diner (4020 Lake St E)
Anyone know why they would've left the 2 original walls from the Taco Bell building and not just knock it all down?
Re: Hi-Lo Diner (4020 Lake St E)
It is called renovation vs new construction. Sometimes it means that certain things are grandfathered into the old location that will help them that they would not get with a totally new building. Also for tax reasons too, you can save on your tax liabilities. if you are renovating vs new construction. Last I knew you only needed one old wall standing to count it as a renovation. They just have to incorporate part of the old building into the new construction and it is then considered a renovation. That may have changed since I last knew of these things. But either a wall or a percentage of the old building must be reused to get the tax and grandfathered bonuses as part of your plan.Anyone know why they would've left the 2 original walls from the Taco Bell building and not just knock it all down?

Re: Hi-Lo Diner (4020 Lake St E)
I see that now. I was reading and rereading the Heavy Table article. If they are partnering with the Blue Door Pub guys, I wonder how many of the Blucy's they'll have on the menu.The Instagram comment says they are partnering with the Blue Door guys to open the Hi-Lo Diner.Huh?
