Beacon Hill Block, 2240 (&c) Airport Boulevard: December 2022 11 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.

Catz Formals, 2222 Airport Boulevard: May 2022 (Moved) no comments
While I was looking at the adjacent Subway, I noticed that formalwear outfitter Catz Formals had recently relocated from Beacon Hill Block to 1056 South Lake Drive in Lexington. There is at least one other vacancy in this plaza, which seems to be in a bit of a slump right now.
Subway, 2236 Airport Blvd: Fall 2022 2 comments
I noticed this Subway in Beacon Hill Block on Airport Boulevard the other day. There is not exactly a date on the closing note, but apparently it's quite recent, as google still has the closing as temporary, and all the decor and fixtures are still inside.
I'm a bit curious about the name for this plaza. Is "Beacon Hill" a real name for the area? Is it an aviation history thing? Was there a beacon?
