Rug Barn building getting some TLC

Any business with "barn" in the name kinda' scares me. Especially that strange spot at the corner of Proctor and 12th. Can't say I've ever been inside but it appears the place has been dying a slow death. They've remained open over the last few months but there have been "commercial space for rent" signs up. Seems the building itself that houses Rug Barn and a local Pizza Time is getting some TLC. KFnet friend Angela pointed out that, though kind of an eyesore now, they're tearing back a lot of the modern siding to reveal some of the structure's past. Even the awning that covers part of the sidewalk is kinda' cool with it's great, theater-style rounded ends.

With the success of nearby Mandolin and 12th Street Diner maybe some good things will come from the soon-to-be-former Rug Barn site.

So Many Barns

Much like GritCity's recent "House of..." post, here's a list of local Barn's:

• Bob's Burger Barn
  
• The Rug Barn
  
• The Car Barn (Lakewood)
  
• Quilt Barn (Puyallup)
  
• Dress Barn (Auburn)
  
• Coffee Barn (Sumner)
  
• The Wax Barn (Kent)

Costco is kinda' a barn... What else?
