"Stop Work" Was a Mistake, Demo Will Continue

They took down the Stop Work Order.  I'll bet demolition will continue on Wednesday, January 2. See "Permit? I Thought YOU Got the Permit" from December 29, 2102.

 

The order said: "NO PERMIT + PLANS
NO PRE CONSTRUCTION MEETING" 12-28-12, Friday

But there is a permit issued 2012-12-17 for 867 PEACHTREE, the address of the Starbucks next door that fronts Peachtree. Maybe the lots have been bundled already, if that's the term.
