Renovations were originally supposed to wrap up in June, then pushed back to October, now December. The work started in October 2017.

KFC ran a contest where they offered $11,000 if someone had a baby on the Colonel’s birthday, September 9th, and named their baby Harland, which was his real name.
And they just announced that someone did it. A couple in North Carolina named their baby girl Harland Rose and won.
I’m as pleased as pumpkin punch to announce the winner of our Baby Harland Naming Contest and the Harland who will be ushering in an all-new generation of Harlands, little Harland Rose. pic.twitter.com/wI2SNshsZ6

With the turn of the calendar to November, today is also the start of Movember.
Men are encouraged to grow moustaches for the month to raise funds and awareness for all the dads, brothers, sons and friends in their life.
Originally a prostate cancer initiative, it has expaned to include testicular cancer and also mental health and suicide prevention.
This year they’re asking men to move. Commit to walking or running 60 kilometres over the month. That’s 60 kilometres for the 60 men we lose to suicide each hour.
