Lunchtime pedestrians on their way to Pete’s popular coffee shop began noticing crews working on Union Avenue’s long-vacant Daylight Building a couple of weeks ago, cleaning the outside, tearing down interior additions inside. Not long after they got started, an impertinent pedestrian hollered across to the foreman, “Why don’t you just tear that nasty old thing down?”
Soon, for pedestrians who looked closely, it didn’t seem quite so nasty. Workers appeared to be installing bright copper window trim on the plain old Daylight. But it turns out they weren’t actually installing it. It had always been there, covered with bland yellow paint. More surprises were to come.
