According to some talk I overheard from the Management they're tearing out the stairway & replacing it with a glass-enclosed stairwell, then they're moving seating for the bar into the side room where they currently do the Lunch Buffet, and they're adding Sports Bar styling to the bar with several wall mounted Plasma TVs.

The Gift Shop has been closed & the contents sold, and from what I've heard will either be an office for management or a small meeting room.

Hmmmm.... I have mixed feelings. I applaud plans for a larger bar area. That's always been needed. But I'm not too thrilled with a sports bar feelings. Still, probably should hold judgment until it's complete.

I'm not surprised about the demise of the gift shop since it was only opened if you asked somebody to open it. Not sure I understand the glass enclosed stairway.

The pictures of the stairwell they've posted by the front door have a Scandinavian "Wood & Glass" look, something a little like the balcony & pergola pictures on the Architect's drawings (the link is on the first page).
