From the editor
It’s been cool to watch the Stutz building transform, so I’m interested to see what its apartments will look like in the future.

In other Stutz complex news, Julieta Taco Shop just had its soft opening this week + Barista Parlor is just about ready to start slinging espresso shots with its soft opening happening today.
