A Friday Walk at Work III

On Friday I took another afternoon walk at work. Friday is always a good day to take a walk as the work week is winding down and it allows you time to think if you finished everything that needs to be done.

Carl Zeiss Innovation Center, Dublin, California, construction, ZeissPlus, it gave me a chance to check out the progress at the construction site near our office.

Most of the work in the past two months has been on the floors of the upper levels so is not too visible. However, if you look close you can see some differences.

I had a good walk, but it was very hot. The temperature was around 100 degrees, but since then a cool front has come through. This morning it was raining with temps in the 60’s. It is a bit early for rain, but perhaps it is a good sign that we will have a wet winter.

Manteca Chick-fil-A Construction Update

Today I had an errand to run in Manteca so I stopped by the construction site of the Chick-fil-A. See: Manteca Chick-fil-A?

Manteca Chick-fil-A, Construction, Manteca, Coming soonThe Coming Soon signs are now up on the fence and construction is underway.

Manteca Chick-fil-A, Construction, Manteca, Coming soonThe Chick-fil-A is being built where the Super Buffet in Manteca had been. The tall sign pole for the Super Buffet is still standing, but I am sure it will soon disappear.

Manteca Chick-fil-A, Construction, Manteca, Coming soonHere you can see that the building is being built at the north end of the lot that was cleared when the Super Buffet was torn down.

The last time I was in Manteca was about five weeks ago and I actually expected the construction to further along than what it is.

I am a bit excited as when it opens this will be the Closest Chick-fil-A to me.

Now to see how long it takes to finish everything and open.
