When we moved into our current apartment 18 months ago, we had a clear view of a vacant lot across the railroad tracks:
Spaces in our city don’t remain vacant for long, so they soon began digging and pouring footers:
As the steel began rising, we wondered what type of building was under construction:
Since we are kind of geeky, it was interesting to watch from our vantage point on the 16th floor:
They attached metal plates to the girders and poured concrete decks during the cool of night:
And then … construction halted and the half-finished building sat dormant:
But recently, there was a flurry of activity to clean the yard, pour some more concrete, and put together metal roofing materials:
And as usual, the business opened with a bang (well, over 90 seconds of bangs – click Firecrackers):
The new business provided several days of high volume entertainment, including give-aways:
traditional singing (click Chinese Duet if you dare):
dancing (click Chinese Dancer):
and a modern young singer (click Young Chinese Elvis):
You might wonder what amazing business demanded all of this big buildup. Well, for now, it’s just a fruit market:
Nothing fancy, but it does improve the local competition. I bought three fresh pineapples today, peeled and plucked for 85 cents:
What will it be?

That is very interesting!
Maybe some things for us to learn from around store openings…
That is amazing for such a thing. Love the three pineapples for a wonderful price!
