I returned to the Psychic Temple for the first time in more than a month and construction is picking up pace. The sidewalk has been removed so that it can be rebuilt sturdier than it ever was. (Farewell, prism lights.)
Partitions, walls, and electricity are being installed on the third floor. I understand the rafters and woodwork up above will remain exposed.
The second story is being readied for walls as well. Ho hum, right? What you really want to see is James Jean’s mural that is said to be placed in the library (photos below from James Jean’s Facebook and Brandon Shigeta’s Instagram accounts).
