Main Street Emporium columns refurbishment

[peter11435]

The last pic I saw from @WDWtraveler on page 2 had plain brown scrims. They could have been updated though!

Edit: I'm not mad about it though, refurbishments and refreshers are always okay in my book!

Gotcha. That pic was taken when the scaffolding was in the process of going back up. Printed scrim is in place now.

Ah, makes more sense. Thanks!

Do you guys think the scrims/walls/scaffolding will be gone by the end of August? It's not at all a big deal if it isn't, just curious. Bringing my parents for the first time. Too excited!

I would expect them to be gone by summer

Thank you.

Any update on the walls in front of the emporium? I leave on May 25th with my family who hasn't been in forever!

Still there today. You can see the window displays if you walk underneath them though! And they have the photo-scrims up too.

Photo update as of Friday, June 2.

So it's taking them 6 months to paint a mother grabbin facade?

 

[Goob]

Ugh. No kidding. Unbelievable.

Heaven forbid they work on anything ... but it does seem to be taking them a while. However we don't know that it's just painting.

It is not just painting.

It is not just painting.

Thanks for clarifying (mostly for those griping). I figured it was more than just painting.

Ok, so what else are they doing? Why the coyness?

I'm griping because of the time it's taking. To have such a large scrim up on the first thing you see when entering the park for such a long time (twice this spring) is pretty ridiculous.

I love that they are doing maintenance but what could possibly take this long?

I believe this work is a restoration rather than
general maintenance. Seems they have done this with all of MSUSA over the last several years.

I was checking instagram and it seems as though they took down the scrim and left the fencing part up. But it also looks as though they put up a scrim on another building on Main Street around Main Street Fashion and Apparel?

Can anyone confirm?

 

[Kman101]

Scrims are down. The building now has a brick exterior and looks fantastic.

You can find pics on Twitter. I only saw some from the site that's similar to "ez" and didn't want to post them. Hopefully @WDWtraveler comes in with their amazing pictures and I'm sure Steve is on it.
