2017 0707 Downtown Improvement Update

by Javier R. Garcia
Wide Robert Runyonesque panoramic image of Market Square / City Hall.  Six photos were merged to create this from balcony of Olvera building.
 The cupola is looking like new.
 There will probably be tables installed on this slab of cement with embedded screw pins.
City workers and P.U.B. workers seeing upgrade of electrical box at old Market Square / City Hall building
 These table benches have chess boards built into them.  
 We may be seeing some close ups of Stegman project pretty soon .  Check this blog for updates.  
 The Olvera building balcony facing Market Sqaure is coming along fine.




Joining old wood with new makes for a sound restoration project!
It's not as important how much is spent on restoration as it is how much love and care is put into it.

Brownsville has probably see enough "graffiti art" for a while.  There's too much of it already.

These doors and stain-glass frames will look beautiful once they're finished.
These tiles slope toward front entrance...
... and are included in display bays on both sides of the entrance
