But the good news is that the space is all completed and, once that liquor license comes through, they'll be ready to open. [POST-PLYWOOD]

SHAW—Shaw's Tavern has also been held up thanks to a delayed delivery of their hardwood floors. The estimated June 1 opening has been pushed back until sometime after those floors arrive this week. But they did get a pretty new sign, as seen to the right. [PLYWOOD]
