Here are some new pictures received today from Morwaves Interesting, I noticed this artist's rendering shows palm trees. I wonder if they are going to plant some, as there are none there now. And the wall between the restaurants and the beach chairs looks pretty short in this one.

As my BIL says, "And there they were - gone!" Wow! I hope lots of new palms will be planted! This drawing of the proposed new plan looks pretty good, especially if the eateries can use their own paint colors! Wondering what restrictions there will be. Thanks for posting!

Thanks to Morwaves for sending the pictures. I agree it does look good.
Looking back at the pictures taken on July 4, I see that they took OUT the palm trees that were there on July 4. Hopefully they will re-plant palm trees.

That part of it I kind of doubt is realistic. I bet that the chairs will be a lot closer to the water than it shows in that drawing.

From the pictures, it looks like the finished product might be a lot nicer looking than the others further to the north that are still standing.Only time will tell, but it will cast a new light on Orient and offer a new and different experience which is often good.Looking forward to checking it out.

Had you been to Orient before the construction? It was a sea of chairs before.

I would disagree that it looks more crowded at all, I think it looks much better, but we will just have to see what it actually looks like.

My ticker is correct, but it will be November before we arrive there. It should definitely be finished by then and I will send along some pictures of the finished product.I am really looking forward to something nice there so I hope I will not be disappointed.

I do hope that they proceed quickly, so that the affected businesses can get back open soon.
Glad you made it back home OK!
