New Awnings Going Up
6 March 2008

A number of buildings began to see replacement "period" awnings today. They are much longer and lower than many of the modern awnings seen on buildings today. The complexion of little old Columbus is changing every day. Workers are buzzing around the business district and tourist traffic is increasing as well. Cars of people coming to see the transformation and scope out the town for another visit during filming.

Complete new building facades are being constructed over properties that do not fit the time period. One of the most interesting aspects are the props that are showing up in the buildings. So much merchandise from the era. Groceries, paper products, hardware, mannequins are beginning to show up in each of the stores. Buildings leased for storage are filling up with old signage that will be placed on buildings, doors, hardware, lighting and props.

It all changing fast!
