601 Myrtle

Here's the first architectural rendering of what the southwest corner of Myrtle and Colorado could look like after remodeling. City officials are hoping to put a pub or restaurant into the space. "I would anticipate that there'll be a new owner or tenant in that spot, and operating, by the time the Colorado Commons mixed-use development up the street is completed and folks start moving in—December 2007 or January 2008," says Monrovia's public information officer Dick Singer.

What a difference that would make!
