The place is boarded because there is no reason to take off the boards until it is ready to open. Why take off the boards and take the chance of someone throwing a rock and break the brand new glass that lies on the inside.
I guess you or whoever gave you those pictures were not invited inside to see that shiny glass? And the new NCR POS cash register system that is primed to go. And the waste water management license and Health Inspection License (score of 99A, btw)and some other license. Or all the supplies that JB just bought from Costco (with his own money, by the way).
The hole on the ground was dug yesterday by a technician who was there most of the day working on the intercom system.
Your pictures only tell half the story.
People here can negative and believe the BS you are feeding them. I don't care.
