the bagel bin was never in the runza/crane coffee stand alone building.  It has always been in the strip mall just to the south of that building.

they should add large planters at this intersection like there are on 11th and howard.  It would not only continue the theme, but give people an excuse to sit there rather than crowd the ones at 11th, and also provide some well needed shade on the area.
