Hamrick's, 300 Outlet Pointe Boulevard: July 2012 (moved) 5 comments
We've talked about this move in various places here over the past few months, but clothing store Hamrick's has finally made the move from the now totally defunct (for retail) MarketPointe Centre into the old Circuit City building across I-20 at 1950 Bush River Road.
As you can see, construction has already started at the old location to refit it for the expansion of the existing SCDOR offices at MarketPointe.
Fashion's Unlimited, 422 Bush River Road: 2012 (moved) 6 comments
Fashion's Unlimited was the follow-on operation in this building to S & K Menswear. I had noticed it several times driving through the area, but had never managed to get pictures to update the S & K post until quite recently.
When I posted them, commenter Andrew mentioned that he thought Fashion's Unlimited was already itself gone despite the prominent "Now Open" banner, so next time I was in the area, I stopped to make a closer check.
According to the door sign, it turns out that Fashion's Unlimited has moved into Dutch Square and that this building is now on the market again. Given the length of time that the old Sounds Familiar storefront has stayed vacant, I don't expect any quick turnaround.

Bel-Air Barber Shop, 1617 Broad River Road: Early 2012 10 comments
Commenter ED points out that the Bel-Air Barber Shop, a Boozer Shopping Center institution, has closed after 40 years. The old style places certainly seem to be closing faster than new ones are springing up. And of course it's depressing to note as well that if this place was 40 years old -- it is a lot *newer* than the places I started getting my hair cut..

Gold Beauty Supply, 1531-B Broad River Road: early 2012 no comments
This storefront on the Dunkin' Donut side of Boozer Shopping Center apparently came and went pretty quickly. It is listed in the February 2012 phonebook, but not the February 2011 one.
I like the (improbably long necked) logo.

Waffle House, 1805 Bush River Road: late December 2011 6 comments
You know, I don't think I've ever seen a Waffle House go under -- until now.
I actually had this Waffle House in my sights for several years. Due to the way it was situated, I thought it would make a good subject for a Nighthawks type picture. In the event, I never got around to it. (For one thing, the best place to set up would be the gas station across the street, which is also 24 hours, and probably would have gotten me some pointed looks at best).
I suppose this does help with directions though:
"Take the only Interstate exit without a Waffle House.."
UPDATE 2 February 2012 -- some daylight pix:
UPDATE 5 April 2012 -- It would appear someone has a grudge against those of the distaff persuasion:
UPDATE 8 November 2016 -- As mentioned by commenter Andrew, this is now a Molly Maid facility:
UPDATE 5 January 2022: Adding map icon and updating tags.
PC Nails, 1569 Broad River Road #B: 2011 1 comment
This nail salon was in Boozer Shopping Center right next to the new location for Hook 'n Needle.
I'm not sure what "PC" stood for in this context as presumably their work was Mac compatible as well..
Hook 'n Needle, 28 Diamond Lane: 2011 (Moved) 14 comments
Sewing & crochet shop Hook 'n Needle was a long-time retail stalwart at Intersection Center. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were the last shop there to either go under or move. Happily, the latter applies here, and at some point this year, Hook 'n Needle moved to the North-West corner of Boozer Shopping Center.
The first three pictures of the old location are from 29 August 2008, the fourth is from 4 September 2010 and the last three are from 24 September 2011.
The church rebuilding Intersection Center continues to make good progress, and hopefully I'll have some pictures of the repurposed Service Merchandise and the new fountain up soon.
UPDATE 22 January 2020: Add map icon, update tags.
Tall Finery, 1621 Broad River Road (Boozer Shopping Center): 2009 3 comments
Tall Finery was a clothing store, presumably for tall women, in Boozer Shopping center, on the same side of the plaza a The Book Dispensary, Dems House of Diamonds and Ron Graham Allergy & Air Quality. Come to think of it, that side (the north one) has been hit pretty hard in recent years.
If all went as planned, the space should be a contract Post Office by now, which makes sense as I can't think of a Fed-Ex or UPS Store in the general area.
