Harlem Bespoke: Construction started up again at the storefront on the corner of 125th and Frederick Douglass Boulevard but the this time the famous mosaic mural will not be be removed. Those who have lived in the neighborhood for some time will remember that the beloved artwork was commissioned back in 2005 by a bank but when construction started up for another business a decade later, the colorful wall disappeared. Everyone was upset because Louis Del Sarte's work really became sort of local landmark and in 2018 was officially restored on site. Thankfully the same mistake will not be made twice this time around and so someone actually learned from a bit of history for once. More on the amazing mosaic wall can be found in our past post:
