LEAD PAINT REMOVED FROM THE REAR PANELS OF THE DINER 

We are happy to announce that Resource Environmental, Inc. has begun the process of toxics removal on the exterior of the diner.  Their expertise is required in the safe removal of lead paint, which is the first stage of the diner restoration process.

Film Industry Craftsman, Johnny Mazzola and Ed Bowen, who have shown great interest in the diner throughout this process, have been contracted to do the restoration work on the diner once the toxics removal is complete.  We are so excited to have them working on the project!

Additionally, we have secured our team of engineers and had our first collaborative meeting to discuss next steps.  Our team consists of Structural Engineer, Avi Khedekar, Civil Engineer, Nick Ayoub, Architect, Welton Becket and Electrical Engineer, Jeff Seymour. The meeting concluded with a unified goal of delivering all the required elements to the architect within two weeks, which will enable him to generate a full set of construction plans.

Despite the many delays that we have experienced along the way, we continue to see progress.  At times it has felt as if we took three steps forward and two steps back.  With that said, we continue to push forward toward re-opening the doors of this neighborhood cornerstone.  How sweet the Grand Opening will be!
