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.

Marion's Diner, 1251 Boston Avenue: Early 2018 no comments
I happened to turn down Boston Avenue behind Lizard's Thicket in Springdale today, and noticed this closed diner that I had not been aware of. I'm guessing it was built in the 1960s for some fast food chain, but the last tenant was Marion's Diner (listed in the phonebook simply as Diner). They have a number of very good reviews online, and appear to have combined Southern Meat & Three with standard fast-food offerings.
You can see some pictures of the place in operation here.
