Last fall, we told you about a pair of rotting bay windows in Bella Vista, around the corner from the Italian Market. At that time, there was a Stop Work Order posted on the building because the work was apparently being done without a permit. We were frankly more concerned about the dodgy looking setup of the scaffolding, which sat on top of a metal awning.

In November

Apparently the owners sorted out their permitting problems, as the bays have been repaired and the scaffolding has disappeared. Maybe it's silly of us, but we were kind of hoping that they would take the opportunity to replace the unfortunate stucco with some other material.

Then again, the stucco does look pretty sweet. </sarcasm>
