Well, Romeo's Downtown is officially closed, and Romeo's Uptown is "open". Why the quotation marks? Well, hopefully these photos give you a hint and show you just a little bit about the process to take Romeo's uptown.
 |
| Frank takes just a moment to relax with a smoke before tackling the big chores. |
 |
| When the tobacco starts to disappear, it definitely starts to feel like something big is happening. |
 |
| Jeff painstakingly removes the railing that Frank installed more than two years earlier. |
 |
| It's amazing how much stuff we fit on the shelves after there was nothing left on the shelves. |
 |
| It only took two trips to take all the pipes, tobacco, cigars, shelves, counters and furniture uptown. |
 |
| The empty humidor, which Frank couldn't wait to start filling. Funny how quickly it makes you forget that closet leading to the bathroom. |
 |
| This view might change, but at the moment, Romeo's has a sitting room and a front porch, all inside the front doors. |
 |
| Somehow, the view makes me wish for a rocking chair and some Bailey's Front Porch, which Frank has in one of the boxes somewhere in there. |
 |
| Even with furniture dropped wherever our tired muscles let it go, the sitting room is already somehow shaping up. |
 |
| I'm sure we'll take it for granted soon enough, but would you just look at all that space. |
 |
| Good bye Trump Tours. The old sign is gone, but Frank must wait on the new one. |
 |
| The wood floor adds a touch of class, not that anyone's going to be looking at the floor in a humidor that big. The cigars demand all your attention. |
 |
| More shelves go in, and more shelves can only mean more cigars! |
 |
| If the sign is upside down, is Frank in distress? |
 |
| So much for the soft opening. |
 |
| The Tobacconist is In! |
