These construction workers are on trend

So much of the daily scene these days consists of construction workers who are part of the fabric of the Grove. They are all over - even on scooters! They are part of the community, they are friendly, they are polite, they know the locals. It's an interesting dichotomy. 

A friend often mentions it and I had to laugh when I was picking up lunch at Asian Thai Kitchen (3135 Grand Avenue) the other day - there were many construction workers there getting Thai food for lunch. And daily you can see them at the local restaurants and many flock to Starbucks.

In the old days I remember construction workers with bucket lunch boxes and sandwiches and thermoses. Now it's upscale and trendy food and coffee!
