Neighborhood renovation


I've been passing a building this summer that has been renovated in a very charming way.  I was hoping that it would become a cozy neighborhood cafe or art store/studio or an independent bookstore.  Not to be.  It's a financial agency with a somewhat humorless employee who answered my nosy questions about the old vs new building.  Well, based on its new appearance, someone in there has an artistic soul!



Linking to week-end reflections

  6. It's cute. Financial people are often non-humorous. It comes with the territory. I mean, really, worrying about money all the time? What fun is that?

  9. Who knows, if the staff is humorless, maybe their time on that location will be brief and the space will be picked up by a cafe with artwork on the walls.

  11. Too bad it wasn't something warm and fuzzy but at least it isn't a soulless franchise of some sort.

    Happy weekend to you and yours!

  14. Sounds like you spoke to someone who might not last as an employee for very long. A friendly facade will take the business only so far.

  17. What a charming and artistic building. Too bad it's not a cafe where you can linger and enjoy the atmosphere!
