| Looking good, with the tower caps finally back in place! |
If you live or work in downtown Anaheim, you are probably keeping an eye on the amazing transformation happening now on Anaheim Blvd. The 92-year old Spanish revival warehouse is one of the last remaining architectural treasures of Orange County's citrus era - and its being restored!
On November 3rd, the restoration crew marked a milestone of sorts, when they finally replaced the long-lost caps atop the two towers on the building's facade. We got a rare opportunity to explore the construction site, and even went inside for a look at the newly painted ceiling. It's an awe-inspiring space.

| When it opens next year, this cavernous sunlit space will hold over twenty restaurants. Dining space will be communal- with seating inside and outside the packing house. |

| "Sunkist, I Presume!" The original Sunkist orange emblem on the face of the building. |

This is just too cool! Absolutely love the Spanish architecture. I better start saving up some cash to fund all the food I'll have to sample. ;-)
