As much as I love seeing the progress with the streetscape, and think the crew is doing a fantastic job moving things along mostly efficiently and quickly, the twinge of concern I had with the crew coming to our block was warranted. We’ve had delays on our block caused by the electric utility moving their utility equipment a month later than planned, and further delays were caused by the vaults on our block that access the tunnel system underneath of Kenton, and an approved method for capping them holding things up.

During these delays, our access bridge has been moved a couple of times, jackhammers, and giant backhoes, throwing people off that may have just gotten used to the old ramp system, or those folks that may not want to trek over a make-shift bridge through the noise just for a cup of coffee in the morning. Needless to say, it is not really the atmosphere most folks are going for.

All of this brings me to a few changes that need to be made now that construction has officially made an impact on foot traffic… with the exception of evenings that we host events (such as 3rd Thursday, music performances, parties, etc.), we will be shortening hours through the winter.

Winter Hours:

Monday – Friday: 6:30am – 6pm
Saturday: 7:30am – 6pm
Sunday: 7:30am – 6pm

Please know these are temporary changes that we’ve just had to make in order to get Posies through this time of extenuating circumstances, but all activities in the mornings will stay the same, and evening activities will keep us open until 9pm, so keep an eye on our activity schedule on Facebook and Twitter, as well as right here on our blog.

Upcoming events include:

Monday, 12/14: Nutrition Consult Over Coffee 7pm
Thursday, 12/17: Third Thursday Art Walk 6pm – 9pm
Tuesday, 1/5/10: Songwriters Roundtable 7pm – 9pm

You can also reserve Posies Cafe for private parties, or hire us to cater meetings or events! Call or email for details.

Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have an questions, comments or concerns, and I welcome your ideas on how to best get through this crazy construction with our heads above water.
