Ok, so I led on to more than I actually saw :wink:, but what I did see made me super stoked that this Vic's is going in the right direction! At least to the naked eye from a "man on the street" view. You can walk in the front door to the condo tower and peek through the atrium to see most of the new Vic's from the windows. The windows are a little concerning, but they do look upon the tropical garden.

I had biz in Chicago again today so I went on anther little recon. Its harder to see everything in photos than it is to see it all in person.

The garden through the front door of the condo tower.

Vic's front door. There is also a door from Vic's to the garden.

In this shot, you can see rolls of matting, a bamboo and lauhala ceiling and the head of a massive Ku tiki.

A really bad photo of anothor one of the Ku in the back and a drum shaped tiki. I've never seen these Ku before, but they look super cool.

Another shot of the two long walls of windows that look out into the atrium.

Good to see the this guy back again!

There was a lot of construction going on inside, it looks like they are going to town on the interior, and the stacks of boo and matting, the large tikis and even a spied Gope Board are all good signs.

But for now I wait like the rest of you in great anticipation!
