McDonalds!

[UA Fan]

Don't know if this was mentioned on here before...I've been majorly distracted from UA & Zips news for quite a while now, but...

I did make it back to campus recently and was amazed to see the new McDonalds on Exchange across from LJF already finished and open for business, and with some anticipated Zips decor, such as:

1) A very cool, large mosaic Zippy mural right inside the door. Very well done, I wonder who created it.

2) Large planters outside along Exch. St. with campus scenes painted on them. Also well done.

3) A stainless steel, slightly abstract kangaroo statue on a pedastal, also outside facing LJF. This had been projected a while back, but isn't quite what I had imagined.

I highly recomment you stop by and check it out when you get a chance. The old McD's has been razed and it appears the University has acquired the site as evidenced by a U of A sign there. Can't wait till they start the new townhomes and dorms along Exchange. They will really bring a much needed change of scenery there.

In other campus construction news, I see the Guzetta project is underway. A large area on the east side is fenced off. I was surprised how much space is there for expansion. I still don't have much of a feel for what it's going to look like but will be fun to watch it take shape over the next year.

Has anyone been by the new Medina campus site? Anything going on there yet?
