Yep - the work has started (Hamid Joodi, Arkon Group). The inside has been stripped and I hear there is quite a lot of work that is going to take place, resulting in a bit of a Mediterranean look: Pizza-Bar-De-La-Mer style.
I think whoever is leading in the NCAA pickem poll on SoWal should host an opening event. Pizza for a break from Thanksgiving leftovers will be a great idea anyway. Good luck on progress, Dave.
