Carolina Jewelry & Loan, 612 Beltline Boulevard: 2015 no comments

Posted at 10:07 pm in closing

Still going through old pictures...

I stopped here the night of 13 January 2014 to get some pictures of the neon window signs for Carolina Jewelry & Pawn, but never came back for any daytime shots because at the time, it hadn't closed. It did that sometime in 2015, with Tri City Pawn being the follow-on operation which itself closed around 2021 and the slot is now Notre Luxury Skin.

Elite Pawn & Gun, 7804 Garners Ferry Road: 2017 (Moved) 2 comments

Posted at 12:15 am in closing

Elite Pawn & Gun moved into this space after Ole Timey Meat Market. They last listed in the February 2017 phonebook, so I am going to mark the closing date as 2017.

The new tenant is SMP Phone Doctor, a cellphone sales and repair shop. I'm not sure what is going on with all the trucks.

UPDATE 11 July 2019 -- I'm updated the post title with "Moved", as I saw the new location for this place, which is in the old H. Rubin Vision Center closer to town:
