You guys! We have sidewalks going in!! We are beyond excited!!
Sorry, not sorry for all the exclamation points.
We're thinking today might call for a second (okay third) cup of coffee. Several good choices in Campustown if you're feeling it too.
Who knew we would be so excited about a newly paved road? It is still closed to traffic but it is looking G O O D!
If you're wondering how to find us for Tricks & Treats in Campustown tonight...
Where there's a will...there's a way! Our friends at Copyworks - Ames have done an incredible job of ensuring their customers can always find a way in (and out) during this construction. Thanks for leading by example!Today the city has begun pulling up the sidewalk which means the corner of Lincoln and Welch is our new front entrance!
As always, you can still enter through our back lot as well, accessible by traveling up Hayward Ave. from the south.
