That’s a formerly trouble-ridden rental property across from Blodgett School. It is being transformed into a coffee shop and a “multipurpose community art, writing, horticulture and entrepreneurship storefront.” The effort is a project of artist Marion Wilson and the class she teaches at SU called “Social Sculpture: 601 Tully.” Café Kubal, located in Eastwood, will open another shop at 601 Tully as part of the project.
