Remember that bar with the wall that got cracked by the work of a construction crew that was working on the giant Elton Park development down in Corktown?

Well, the UFO Factory — a historic place in a way, as the home of the legendary Hoot Robinson’s when Tiger Stadium was across from it — looks to be on the mend, at least according to the Instagram post.

After the incident (**[background including an ongoing rift between the two sides here](http://www.dailydetroit.com/2017/08/03/ufo-factory-condemned-city-construction-crew-large-development-next-door-damages-wall/)**), there was a successful online crowdfunding campaign to raise money for the out of work staff that pulled in more than $23,315\. A large portion — $15,000 — was donated by Soave Enterprises.
