Zing!

This is what the inside of the new Zingerman's Deli expansion looks like. Well, the second floor of it. Not bad.

Deli Dilemma

The famous Zingerman's Deli in downtown Ann Arbor is moving forward on its long-awaited expansion project, but the city is making crews work around a historic (read: not allowed to demolish) house that sits on the property. The distinctive orange annex building, as its formally called, was lifted from its foundation today and placed on a temporary foundation nearby. The biggest reason to move the structure is so demolition on the patio can start. Work so far has included demolishing a fire-damaged house on East Kingsley Street, in addition to the annex building move. Eventually, a 10,340-square-foot building will be added to the reconfigured campus. As part of that plan, the annex building will be relocated to a position near its original foundation.

With approval from the HDC, the deli can now proceed with its long-anticipated expansion. Read the story here.
