Construction Well Underway at Dinosaur BBQ BK

Work started earlier this year inside 604 Union Street, where Dinosaur Barbecue will open later this summer. But a lot was done to the restaurant's facade recently. Large holes have been cut from the brick wall to make way for windows, and a steal foundation is in place to support a large awning.

Construction for the windows cut into a mural that was painted in dedication to Raul Vasquez Jr., who was the victim of a stray bullet in 1995. Dinosaur founder John Stage, after seeking out Vasquez's late mother, got permission to relocate the mural. It'll remain on the building's facade, and bricks from the original will be used in various places throughout the restaurant's interior. More pictures after the jump.
