I suspect at this point this guy's fresco in Spaceship Earth will be done before the Cake Bake Shop:

Here's a brief look at the ongoing work in the Boardwalk area.

I'd like to see their yearbook chock full of pictures of them in a surrey bike riding down the Boardwalk, getting ice cream, having lunch at the Hondoran (?) food truck, and riding around the lake in a swan boat.

It was a really active school year so they deserve it. Enjoy summer camp, boys! Make good choices!

This is my third night here. The Boardwalk has plenty of foot traffic, lovely music, and best of all, so far the jump ropers are not here tonight, for which I'm exceedingly grateful. Their routine was fine to watch once. Having it right under my balcony got old, fast.

We were there two nights ago and there was a decent number of people. Actually, the acrobatic show probably had the largest crowd I have ever seen on the Boardwalk. He was really good with the getting the kids and adults involved.

It's been livelier, but still decent crowds.

Anybody been down there recently in the evening? How lively is the place these days? Lots of people watching the entertainment?

No they were hiring for this location. So it’s a little confusing bc it doesn’t look like it will be done anytime in the near future.

So with the roof still being exposed plywood, I would assume without it being watertight they have not begun drywall inside...Usually the structure is completely sealed from the elements before that starts... So I am assuming the interior is still at studs and concrete floor... And they are advertising about hiring? Must be for another location in the area...
