Workers were in the process of removing the facade of the Market Street garage this morning. The garage is in the beginning stages of a $3 million renovation.
"Ugly" isn't my term, by the way. When I interviewed business administrator Mike O'Rourke about it last year, he called the garage "a monolithic ugly sitting there on Market Street."
Someone else once pointed out to me that the stuff covering the front of the garage is the same as what's on the side of the Rodeway Inn on North George Street. If it's not the same thing, it's pretty close.
It's also worth pointing out that what used to be an entrance lane to the garage from Duke Street has been closed, and part of it has become a pedestrian walkway. But you can still access the garage from Market Street.

I just want to say that today 5/18 at 1:30 pm on my wife’s way to work, at the entrance to the fire station on N. Sherman, she found a black and white Chihuahua mix that had been hit and killed in the middle of the road. She moved the dog so other speeding drivers wouldn’t run over him. She carried him door to door til she found a neighbor that pointed out the owner’s house. The driver had hit the dog in the head with the car and kept right on going.
