Beacon Hill Block, 2240 (&c) Airport Boulevard: December 2022 10 comments
(The two pictures directly above come from commenter Jimmy -- Thanks! I have the feeling someone else sent me some others as well, but I can't get to that hard drive right now unfortunately)
Beacon Hill Block was the strip mall on the corner of Airport Boulevard & Boston Avenue which housed, among other businesses, the former Lizard's Thicket and Subway.
I have not been by lately, but commenter Brandon Brown says the signage indicates a Murphy's Express will be going in here.
Here is a not particularly informative notice from West Metro News.

Lizard's Thicket, 2240 Airport Boulevard: 14 June 2020 10 comments
ColaDaily reports that this and the Beltline Lizard's Thicket will be closed temporarily due to staffing issues during the COVID-19 crisis. (Old Chicago in the Vista had signage indicating the same issue). They do plan to re-open both stores at some point.
I can only recall eating at this store twice though I have probably been there more. The most memorable experience was when I had been working across the country for a month, and *really* wanted some comfort food, so as soon as I touched down at the airport, I was already planning what vegetables to pick!

UPDATE 5 January 2022: As mentioned in the comments, this closure is now permanent, so adding pictures and updating the post title to remove "(Temporary)":
UPDATE 17 April 2023: Now a Murphy Express.
