On a downtown drive-about last Thursday, I noticed that the last of Grand Circus Park's eyesores, the Park Avenue Building, is being worked on by renovation specialists Grunwell-Cashero. I'm wondering if anyone knows what is going on/planned. I placed call to the company. The receptionist, who did not know the answer, took my number so hopefully I'll be able to answer that if no one else can do it first.

As you can see the windows have been removed at this point. It is a beautiful building and I'm happy to see that it apparently will be restored.

This shows some of the bas relief work.

The next door Briggs Houze appears to be bustling with customers enjoying outdoor dining at PAO.
