George's on the cusp

Neighbors were excited to see this week the removal of tarps and scaffolding from around the building where George and Sons Diner once stood. It has three floors instead of the original two. That top crown was a surprise.

I don't have a very qualified opinion of outdoor light fixtures, but these seem like a nice touch. I'm a little afraid of how long it'll take some drunk fool to try to hang on one, but for now they look nice I think.

And perhaps the best news of all is that there's George himself, talking to the mailman about how things are progressing. So I think it's safe to guess that it really will be a diner, not a Rite Aid or a deli or a pizza place.
One thing I forgot was to ask him if he's bringing back the huge orange neon sign.
