The owner of the abandoned restaurant storefront on Taft St. south of W. Gray didn’t waste much time in trashing the place after acquiring it in June.

The new owner also bought the neighboring brick house on Peden St. around the same time:

A Flash in the Pan
…so sad.
not sure what is so sad…..A dilapidated restaurant got demolished to make way for new construction.
For the 5+ years I lived down the street from this property, it has always looked like that.
I’m with cg. It just started to seam as if ownership stopped caring. It reminded me of Happy All at the corner of 14th and Yale.
Not a loss as there was nothing of value there
Anyone know what’s going to be built there?
