The Travel Lodge on Voght street is under renovation. The area that housed Lads restaurant untill a mildew problem in the basement forced them out is now being made into a combination Japanese and Western cuisine dinning facility.

The young Japanese proprietor says he expects to be running in a month. and its style is Fusion.

On Garcia street there is another pair of young Asian men renovating  a portion of a building  for a Mongolian restaurant. No Building permits are readily seen in the demolition phase of both projects.
