Former McGowen Cleaners Now Looks More Vibrant as Restaurant Redo Takes Shape

But a bunch of other outdoor features such as shrubs, grasses, and the beds that hold them are now in place outside the structure.

They’ve taken over the frontage previously occupied by chopped-up pavement:

At the south end of things, new curbs and landscaping are taking shape in the back parking lot as well:
