Recently, I discovered that a century old house I lived a year in is now a parking lot. An incredible tiki bar I spend many nights at is now a drive-through ATM for a bank.
A surplus electronics store a few miles away closed its doors at the beginning of the year. I used to drop in once a week, always found cool stuff and loved chatting with the owner.
There are many other places I spent a lot of time at that are now gone. So if anyone wants to wax nostalgic about a favorite place that's gone, post it here. A lot of great places are disappearing in this economy, so let's pay some tribute and talk about them here.
