Couldn't find an existing dedicated thread on this, surprising.
After a year or so pause in progress, 1101 N. Main Street, corner of 1st & Main, now known as "Main Space", formerly home to the Pearl night club, is now visibly moving forward again.
Interior demo has been ongoing over the last several weeks & the exterior is now being renovated. New windows and job paint being done now.
Update:
Just over a year and half later, the building was sold yesterday.
A low key construction office going in on the 2nd floor, with an event space on the 1st floor.
Its amazing what motherhood will do to a woman...

Ahhhh the Pearl, so many great memories there.
Update: the 2nd floor offices will be occupied in February 2019. The 1st floor will be used as an event space branded The Brick & Board, open around May. Marketing for that will begin in several weeks.
Also, the long vacant community garden on the property will likely be reinstated. No timeline for that.
Brick & Board?? Will they be serving gourmet sandwiches on either bricks or boards? Can we please get past the Noun & Noun naming convention?
Maybe it is describing the texture of the food?

If you think this is bad, just wait til they start naming restaurants like law firms
Grand opening of the new Brick & Beam is June 29th. A ticketed party marks the occasion:
