Zio Carlo Progress
By: Kevin Buchanan

The former Gunn’s Cleaners building at College & Magnolia in the Near Southside is now under steady work in its conversion to Zio Carlo, the Italian brew pub which will be the building’s new tenant. Shown above is the west side of the building, where a cinder block addition has been demolished for what looks to be a garden dining area. Below, a view of the street facades – the Gunn’s signage hasn’t been replaced yet, but work on the building’s windows is underway, and the overgrown shrubs on the College frontage that constantly blocked the sidewalk have been removed at long last.

I am so glad those crazy shrubs are gone. Their annialation is enough reason for me to go to Zio Carlo when they open to thank them.
