A stretch along King George VI Street, right in front of Menelik II School, has taken on a new identity. The row once known for supermarkets, vacancy boards, and late-night lounges now hosts shaded reading spots where visitors pick up newspapers and settle in to scan the day’s flow of information. Recent corridor upgrades replaced the worn stairs and heavy foot traffic with wooden fixtures and green accents, giving the area a calmer, more inviting presence, the kind that calls to former readers that once sat on the dusty stairs and stared at notices boards for hours among the crowd.
