Columbia Gold & More / J & J Wireless, 1531 Broad River Road: late 2013 1 comment
The only picture of Columbia Gold & More that I have is one taken for the Gold Beauty Supply closing, which shows a partial image in the right corner.
When I went by Boozer Shopping Center today, I happened to notice that not only was *that* gone, but the follow-on operation J & J Wireless had come and gone as well.
Kotas Sandwiches, 5423-B Augusta Road: 2013 2 comments
This little sandwich shop is attached to a convenience store / gas station on the West side of US-1 heading into Lexington. I had driven past it a number of times in the previous months, but had never really seen it. This time, when I stopped at the store, I noticed that it was there, and that it was closed. What reviews I see online are positive, and indicate it was open at least into June of 2013.
Starbucks Coffee, 6080-A Garners Ferry Road: 1 May 2014 (moved) 6 comments
Old:
New:
Starbucks has now moved from its original Woodhill location by Panera Bread down to the corner formerly occupied by Qdoba.
The new location gives it a drive through window, but perhaps more importantly in my view, moves it away from Panera. It has never made much sense to me to have a coffee and pastry shop located... right next to a shop that sells better coffee and pastries in a more comfortable setting. Without the drive-through all they had going for them was staying open a little later.
UPDATE 30 November 2021: Updating tags and adding map icon.
