The back story

I posted a little this morning about my background, but here's more on the building to set the stage for the project we're undertaking in the coming months. The building has been a restaurant, and most notoriously been a dive bar for locals in Alviso (a San Jose neighborhood). I'm including a photo here because I want to share every aspect of this project - warts and all. I am not offended if you gasp or laugh when you look at this photo.

There are incredible plans for this spot, my friends. Incredible, but expensive plans. It's truly disgusting how much it costs to renovate a restaurant space. So in a few months - the fewer the better - Lunch with Tony will take shape in this dilapidated shell of a building.
