I actually used to frequent the old Goodwill there so I'm really happy to see this project underway. I biked past the site on my way to a friend's in Old South and the progress is pretty remarkable. I'll try to get a few pictures when I'm in the area tomorrow afternoon.
Well the place is now officially open, so I went inside and took some photos for you guys!
Here are some shots of the outside, click on a thumbnail for a larger photo.
And here is the front foyer off of Horton St. Again, you can click on the photos for bigger versions.
The actual store on the first floor:
The view of the foyer from the second floor:
And finally the third floor, which will be office space, I'm sure. (The second floor is a job search centre). Note the balcony in the first photo. Gives a nice view of downtown.
So yep, that's the Goodwill Centre! Pretty amazing building they've built, and I recommend everyone to go see it first hand.
And those are street trees done right. Nice-sized planters, no power lines directly above them and even some decorative grass to help shield the soil. I'd wager these trees will end up doing quite well.
Now that is one good looking goodwill!!!!!!
