This photo seems to be from the forties!
Wonder if PELE'S will bring back the neon?

Almost looks like it used to be a bowling alley.  How cool would a bowling alley be in the 5points or King Street district?

Stuff like this makes me wish Google was sending around their street views cameras 40, 60, 100 years ago.

Didn't we read that the owner also (Timken will love this) knocked down a house on the northern side of the building to allow it to expand? There used to be like 3-4 business going on in the building, besides the drug store.
