Ah I see. Guess I just got confused from the different coloring/wall texture. :wacko:
Oh, no, I was confused too. The building should've been beige and smooth with a retro feel to it, but they made it dark orange and gave it a faux-brick look. I'm also surprised they haven't started anything for the enormous neon sign for the building, which (by the looks of the art) is supported by three poles separate from the structure. It's also supposed to get an orange awning similar to Android's purple/white awning.
To be honest, this was the one façade I hoped they wouldn't mess up. Besides the Aztec Theater, it should be the brightest..!

Thank you for posting those pictures. You got like the perfect view to show progress. I didn't realize how wide and spacious Springfield is. I wonder if they plan to put something in that large empty space, that has to be more than just walk room. The statues and some benches maybe. I'm starting to get really intrested on how this'll turn out. And I'm not even a Simpsons fan.

Not to mention one side of Barney's is themed to match Hogsmead. Talk about an identity crisis!
I almost mentioned that..! I wasn't sure if they just hadn't painted that side, or if they're leaving it like that. The edge of it is orange, and then it fades to a generic grey as it gets closer to Potter. I guess they'd leave it like that so guests looking through the windows from inside The Three Broomsticks or in the alleged outdoor seating area are still immersed.

Probably because this way it's easier to build a real and proper kitchen from the ground up than have to gut a truck and conform it to proper standards. That, and it's a tad larger than a regular "food truck" if I'm not mistaken.
They've already started paving parts of Springfield with cement as well as the two-lane blacktop that will curve along the front of the new shops and restaurants. I saw more of the blacktop than I could photograph when I happened to walk past an open construction door while some exec-types were stepping out. This is really going to look great.
The Channel 6 Studios signage is up, too.

Somebody got on top of the Castle Theater! 
Wow! We are actually getting it!Bumblebee Man's Taco Truck is coming! Photo taken from MiceChat:
Haha. The Castle Theatre is actually in the back of that photo, this photo was likely taken on the top exit ramp of TSR next to the Kwik-E-Mart.Somebody got on top of the Castle Theater!
He means the pictures that show Springfield from an aerial view on page 26.

I saw that coming, but I figured it would be beneficial for people to read.
