What Was where Henry Hudson's Is?

Of course, instead of following suit on the area and having a somewhat Identifiable style to the corner, 7-11 is building way off the corner, metal capped roof... all bright dirt red brick... could have at least followed colors on the record building, and lost the red capped front awning/roof... erks me.

Two words....Corporate consistency. I don't think anyone would say gas stations hold the prize for interesting architecture these days...or even attempt to match, but it could be worse....it could always be worse.

ok bomber, lets start a design committee..

Who remembers the furniture store behind Sears, was it Rock Dawson? I also remember the big Sears fire.

[mmonroe]

i was told about the sears fire, wasn't around when it happened of course. same place where langstons is located.

Saw them placing the tanks today, the south part of the parking lot is done, should be soon

[usmbubba]

the 7/11 is open, it was packed, Unleaded is $2.30

[usmbubba]

Well the store next to it hasn't been leased yet, also they've redone the old Multimedia place as well, for lease signs up there as well

Glad to hear that usmbubba. Last time i drove by there, the old multimedia building still showed it's old wall that connected to Hudson's. That mulitcolored crap brick wall was definitely detracting. If anyone is around, can they post a picture...preferrably from the corner where Evelyns is.

Oh and a little off topic, but in the same area. I emailed NorthStar a while back asking why they never completed phase 3 in uptown (which was supposed to include the land where 7-11 is). They never replied back. I feel like they totally let everyone down when they only painted the largest and most productive area of uptown. it's like with each phase, they got cheaper until they just gave up.

The most depressing part is the storefronts that face Key, on the east side, it is vacant from the corner (A+ Academics) to the shoe repair. on the west side there are two vacants between the vet and Sherwin Williams. I wonder what the rent is? Easy access, fair amount of parking. On the south side of 15th, it looks like a Celluar place may be going in the old Jordan real estate location between the Florist and Goodyear.

Well a roofing company moved in the east storefront of the 7/11, also got a new nail place down by Penny and Irenes

it was an adairs cafeteria back in 72 when i was in high school there, rock dawsons was back there too, the tg&y tire auto store is where the plumbing store is. i cant believe the albertsons and old walmart is empty, i remember where albertsons and walmart is ,was called the woods and if someone wanted to take it somewhere to fight ,thats were they went. also sat at monroney school in 69 watching the old target store being built it was arlans, and when we moved to mwc in 1960 there were signs where the mall is or was telling of new shopping center soon, wow what cool memories.
