The cute little picket fence will be down temporarily along with the tent over the porch next week. The county is giving us a facelift as it pours a concrete curb, sidewalk and driveway for us.
A special design is "allowing" us to keep the only parking spaces we have. That was close... they were going to block off cars from the front and make the street a "no parking" zone. When the plans were drawn up last fall we were a mere twinkle in the eye. No one went to bat for any future the place might have had.
But when we started to see the orange vests gathering outside of our shop we got involved. Might as well close our doors as take away our parking. Curious passersby stop in all the time when there is easy parking. The plans have been officially altered. Not only will we get a new driveway and approach but this whole area of Mt.Pinos Way is getting a facelift courtesy of the stimulus program? Thank you Mr.President. I don't want to think of all those orange clad construction workers as going without. My hope is that they spend their money here so we can make it too. It's been a month since drive-by traffic has stopped in to see who we are.
The shop will be reorganized inside and out. Hope we'll make up the missing revenue cause we'll be so cute.
Seriously, it will be better for all concerned. It's just the hanging on that hurts.
