I first posted on the Crislip Arcade back in August of last year.  It’s worth a quick look at that post, so that you can compare the entryway to the arcade at that time to the new entryway.  It used to have a very boring and stark opening at the bottom, and some old windows higher up.  But now, with the renovation of the 600 block of Central Avenue and all of the new artist/tenants moving in, the arcade itself received a much-needed and very well-done facelift.  As I drove by one evening last week, I saw the lights on and the new gates closed, and I had to stop to take a photo.  It’s even more beautiful in person, though, so you should stop by when you have a chance.  For information on some of the businesses and activities in the 600 block, check out their website.   [please click on the picture for a full-sized image...]
