It's kind of neat that one of the old CSC buildings just built around this old building instead of demolishing it. I'm sure it was not the builder's first choice! Drove by on the way home from work. Will have to stop by and try out the BBQ that is now served here. The photos here are from an earlier visit before the BBQ restaurant moved in.
