Burger King, 2216 Bush River Road: late 2012 (temporary) 8 comments
Well, I thought I ought to get these pictures up before they acutally finish the remodeling and have the store open again!
Anyway, this is another Columbia area Burger King being upfitted, and the operation is fairly well along by now. This store is at the the intersection of Bush River Road with I-20, and sits next to Cracker Barrel and not far from Hamrick's. As you can see from the main sign, hiring for the reopening has already commenced.

Noland Bath & Idea Center, 730 Elmwood Avenue: July 2009 11 comments
Commenter Jamie pointed out this closing some time ago. In the event, I didn't have a mental image of where the place was, and didn't get around to going over there in a timely fashion.
Later, in March of last year (2011) commenters 59 Ford Wheelman and tonkatoy noted that the place was being torn down.
That time, I did get over there and got a fair number of pictures (including the first set below), but still never got around to doing a closing on it.
Yesterday I was coming in on I-126 and finally noticed the place again. This time I saw the whole thing was razed to the ground, and that it was a big complex, taking the whole block bounded by Elmwood, Gadsden, Calhoun and Wayne. Furthermore, the lot has been sold, so presumably something will be happening here soon.
(Noland itself remains in business in other places.)
