I need to go back on the presentations to see if this has houses for bats and sparrows… I liked the ones with houses for bats and sparrows.

Bridge is still up, boat is docked, planes flying

Got the floor on 10 now

It was still up today (Thurs). I’d only bothered to look because I’d flipped on a live Johnny Strides video the other day, and some cyclist had asked him if the bridge was open. He’d mistakenly thought he meant the yellow one and told him yes. So no apparently no signage.

Hrm, I purposely signed up for their newsletter in hopes of updates on sales etc. maybe that doesn’t kick in til the grand opening? Also, would love if they added their kitchen to Skip or Ritual for pick-up
