The walls and floors are covered in graffiti and questionable messages, but the two couples plan to refurbish the building over the next few months.

The Kramers, who own Kramer Contracting in Rochester, keep tabs on property development in the city and found a prime location in the former Whiskey Bones Roadhouse site on the north side.
