Sans-sign. 😿
We got off so much lighter with the recent high winds than, for example the people in Mayfield, KY, that we can count our blessings that the sign didn't even fall to the ground.

Have to see it in person to be sure - but (assuming it is complete) the interior finishes of passerelles looks unfortunate.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the exterior brick looks pretty rough. Will the brick be restored in any way??

They replaced damaged brick and did some minor cleaning but I think it's done. What we see is what we get. (I had hoped for more cleaning but it actually looks pretty good to me.)

The sandblasting of brick that happened more often than not in restorations 20 years ago, no longer happens as it was found that the sandblasted bricks were damaged too much. Gentler cleaning happens now. It does not have results that are as spectacular, but at least the bricks don't crumble to nothingness.
