The paper is off the windows, the art is up, the furniture is in and the lights are on at Scene Cafe.
These photos were taken Friday night, just after 11:00. It looks vastly different from just a couple of weekends ago, when I stopped in and talked to the owner, Samuel, while he was working inside. He said that the work stoppage during the summer was because of a death in the family and that the place was just a few weeks from being ready to open.
When I remarked that the building’s yards of glass had stayed improbably intact during his absence he said that people in the neighborhood knew his father – who owned the store that once occupied the building that is now Scene Cafe – and “looked out for the place.”
Maybe ruin and wreckage aren’t the rule on Pine Street after all.

I CANT WAIT. I’m real excited. Its real nice to have something like this in the community. The architecture is nice i can just image how the atmosphere would be. Go Samuel.
