Stubbs Opticians / The Elephant Trunk / Jack Auto Sales / Seici Auto Sales / Solid As A Rock / etc, 2931 Platt Springs Road: 2000s 3 comments
Commenter "Near Springdale" has pointed out this building a number of times over the years, but I was never exactly sure which one he meant until recently. In the event, 2931 Platt Springs Road had been a number of things over the years. In general I can't get close enough on StreetView to read the signs, but the post title has some of the tenants, and here is an article on The Elephant Trunk antiques store, which apparently opened in 2014 and closed in 2020. Currently the signage for Jack Auto Sales is still up, but it's not clear there are any cars there.
Yelp suggests that "Solid As A Rock" reported themselves as "We are a Metaphysical shop that has many handmade items and more. We have crystals,candles,incense, and much more. We also will be having a coffee and tea bar coming soon."
The LoopNet listing comments that the building was built in 1994 and "is in very good shape".

UPDATE 5 October 2026: Adding Stubbs Opticians to the post title based on information from commenter badger.

Interesting how the "Solid as a Rock" owners wanted to try a coffee/tea bar - I never went there so I don't know if they actually did. This little area could use a local coffee shop, what with Spectrum, the airport, and the Midlands Tech campus nearby.

@badger -- I think they sit interns down in front of the info screen and say "take your best guess" sometimes.
Adding Stubbs.

That building sure looks older than 1994, more like 1974. But in any case, that location, regardless of the edifice,' was Stubbs Opticians in the early 1990s.
