3000 BLOCK OF THE BOARDWALK
The project (from Morris to Chelsea on the Boardwalk) is a single story façade renovation with raised parapets.  The structures were built in the early 60’s of steel with masonry exteriors of block and fired brick.  There is a tenant next to that, then a palm reading establishment, a tee shirt shop, a TCBY-Nathans, a chocolate shop, the owner’s office, and then a Country Kitchen on the Morris corner.  Lighting and signage will afford much excitement to the McLean property (2nd from Chelsea) and also to the other properties.  The palm reading establishment receives a clear crystal ball look via signage which is backlit in white and blue.  The TCBY – Nathans location gets a faux second story glass look with a Nanawall which goes up to a marquee.  The Country Kitchen will have a semicircular space with an automatic door at its frontage.  Architect:  Herb Grana from CF Dothe Architect, LLC; Contractor:  Shore Building Contractors, Inc.  Construction start is envisioned early or mid October, 2006.  CLICK HERE to view before and after photos.
