State Street’s facelift continues. While I was driving home and treating my car to the luxurious new pavement on State Street, I realized that the new street lights were actually lit! Along with the new pavement and brick sidewalks (that are well on their way to being done), the city had turned on the street lamps on Thursday night. After realizing the street had a whole new look (finally), I decided to stop and snap a couple photos to prove it.
It was after I stopped that I met Eddie Sargent, the Chef/Owner of The Chef’s Table. Eddie was kind enough to get out of the way of what he thought was my shot (even though he wasn’t in it)…so I went over to say hello. Turns out he had just installed the new sign, which looks great. I loved the clean look of the new sidewalks and the granite stairs welcoming guests into the building, and the new sign was the icing on the cake. Hopefully – in a few more weeks, we’ll get State Street back to enjoy for ourselves, free of delays, construction cones and dust clouds. Below – see what a difference a day makes. Both shots were taken around 1pm at lunchtime…
