Bull City Cool, in Bull City proper, would be incomplete without… (say it with me)… a Bull. Luckily local metal artist Tom Dawson was up to the task of crafting one to both guard the food hub with a pitch fork, and reflect our historic building’s colorful history. Read on to learn more in this […]
The Office – In Black and White
Here it is in black and white… the land-locked heart of 902 N Mangum St. If you’re wondering whether this picture is from 1950 or 2015, don’t worry… We won’t leave you hanging like those pendant lights. Answer: It’s our finished office space at the food hub, taken squarely in 2015. Hard to tell, though, […]
The Warehouse Fan – Part 2
After A2Z Contractors removed the warehouse fan, they set to work repairing the block frame that remained. Next, they filled the space with the glass block mosaic you see here. As is par for the course, we’re thrilled to add another window to the food hub and particularly to the warehouse. This window lets natural […]
A Veggie-Conductor’s Podium
The Bull City Cool food hub comes to life on “veggie delivery day” in a beautiful and organic orchestra of movement. And that orchestra wouldn’t be complete without a conductor, who of course needs a podium. (My logic here feels very reminiscent of one of my favorite books – If You Give a Mouse A […]
No Longer Vanilla
Our warehouse space is officially clean, complete, and code-compliant. What really “finishes it off” is the quick and consistent paint job by Gonzalez Painters. At approximately 2,500 sq ft the warehouse is a vast space, most of which is now white or grey. One exception is our newly installed bathroom that’s painted a vivid green […]
What color is that?
A show of hands, who remembers that Colgate Whitening toothpaste commercial from the ’90s where the teacher asks kindergarten students “What color are my teeth?” …and they respond, “Beige! Off-white! Stucco! Ecru! Mother of Pearl!” Okay, you can put your hands down now. (I know I’ll have to if I want to timely finish this […]
From Rubble to Ramp
We find ourselves in a love-hate relationship with construction of our ADA-compliant wheelchair ramps. We love to make the Bull City Cool Food Hub accessible to one and all by installing these ramps. We hate the logistics of their construction. Since the love half is pretty clear, let me elaborate more on the hate half. As […]
Stucco Magic!
Alakazam! Poof! Stucco magic! A2Z Contractors’ meticulous craftsmanship is on display in a major way at the food hub. Check out the refinished, recreated, and repaired stucco featured here. All the historical details preserved, of course… spared no expense. In the foreground you can see fresh stucco repairs not yet dry. In the background that’s […]
That’s a lot of paint
At approximately 4,000 sq ft Bull City Cool has a LOT of exterior wall space… But that’s not slowing down Gonzalez Painters! Our trusted painters are back and working their way around the building to make it – for the first time in a long time – one consistent color. (Mud-colored aluminum siding and paint […]
Crumbling Stucco – Not a Keeper
One of our most exciting – and earliest – discoveries during construction was the original 1950’s stucco exterior that was masked by aluminum siding. In this picture you can see its intricate details running vertically and horizontally. You can also see it’s withstood a bit of damage over the years. Between old age, construction, and […]
