Our street is getting a little 'glow up'✨ So if you are trying to find us, just follow the sound of jackhammers and the faint scent of fresh asphalt. 🚧We promise the drinks and snacks are worth the detour.
Beaver Ave. is closed from Urbandale Ave. to Douglas Ave. The easiest detour would be to come down 38th street and turn down Fagan Drive.
