Happy Mardi Gras!

We're really enjoying all the new "firsts" at the shop's new location on 22nd and Mechanic (after the Ike-forced move from 23rd and Winnie where life moved just a little slower and we could watch the grass grow on the playground at Trinity across the street). 

We're right in the middle of it all - for the Dickens 1st Annual Bed Races we had a front-row seat, at the Bike Rally we got to hear the pipes up close and personal, and during the 2nd Weekend of Mardi Gras, the parades will float right on past our front doors!

Although being in the thick of it all does have its perks, with the good come the not-so-good and you're occasionally greeted by something a young reveler who partied a bit too hard left on your doorstep.  C'est dommage.

No problem - Refuse Manager and Certified HAZMAT Engineer Michael is on the scene!

Done and done.

 

*Note the over-head-level stucco finish on the facade of the building - get a good long look - operation reverse-facadomization (original term coined by our very own Matt Farragher of GHF) will begin the day after Mardi Gras and it will be no more!!!

Happy birthday, Mauritzio - we know you're looking down on us and we hope you're enjoying watching the progress we're making on the building... And thanks for continuing to keep the pigeons off the roof.
