Barb, I'd never delete you! Or even your post. Nothing the matter with this. It's not spammy in any way, shape or form.
I don't know about the budget, but I noticed recently that Cafe Lou Lou did a great job of turning the former MacVitties from a forgettable saloon atmosphere to a bright, open room that carried over a lot of their funky/artsy character from Clifton. Might give Clay or Helen a jingle.
Another possibility, as I recall, the folks at Nios on Baxter had to do an awful lot of renovation from the old Jupiter Cafe/Bazo's and were probably keeping some eye on the budget when they did that.
