Norton Car Stereo, 3326 Two Notch Road: October 2020 5 comments
I thought about going to Norton a few times, but they weren't open on Saturday, and Best Buy was, so that was the deciding factor there. I was a bit surprised to notice that there was a closing sign on the door (which I thought I took a picture of) saying they were shutting down temporarily due to COVID-19, but when I did a google search, I found that the building went on the market in October.
As far as I know the Broad River Road location is still open.
UPDATE 22 March 2021 -- Here are the pictures of the door sign I mentioned:
Auto Sound Lab, 2941 Two Notch Road: 1980s 3 comments
I've been misplacing and finding these pictures ever since commenter Rick sent them, but here they finally are. Commenter Rick says:
Ted,
Attached are a few photos of my store at 2941 Two Notch Road when our new sign was going up. It does not show the building very well but in the back ground just past the McDonald's sign, you can see the old Chappy's Fish and Chips sign that you mentioned in your Carzzz 2941 post. You can also see my old 1976 blue corvette that was in the middle bay of the picture I sent from my Five Points location.
I would also note that in the background of the first picture, you can see the old AMC dealership, where I bought the worst piece of junk ever assembled: the 1983 Renault Alliance. Man, was I ever glad to see the last of that marvel of Franco-American technology.
The building on this lot is now a dental office.
Gulf Station / Auto Sound Lab, 700 Harden Street: January 1984 1 comment
Commenter Rick sent this picture of his former business some months ago but I was holding onto it until I could dig up some current-ish pictures of the spot for comparison. I actually did take some, but as so often is the case, I can't lay hands on them right now. The ones I did find are from 2011.
Though I must have driven, or been driven, by this spot hundreds of times through the years, I can honestly say I have no recollection whatsoever of this building. I also have no recollection of Harper's being built despite always thinking of it as a "new" place.
Commenter Rick has recently mentioned that X Records was also located on this corner and also knocked down to build Harper's.
(Hat tip to commenter Rick)
UPDATE 1 June 2015: Changed Gas Station in the post title to Gulf Station based on the comments.
Custom Car Stereo, 9557 Two Notch Road Suite O: 2014 1 comment
This little strip mall is on the downhill side (north) of Two Notch near Sesqui. Custom Car Stereo is listed in the February 2014 phonebook, so it either closed in 2014 or 2013 after listings closed.
UPDATE 13 May 2020: Add tags & map icon.
Xtreme Customs & Car Audio, 2341 Broad River Road: 2009 no comments
Xtreme Customs was at the corner of Broad River Road and Briargate Circle, just across from the old location of Delhi Palace.
I'm not sure if this place closed or moved. There is a business of the same name listed in the phonebook as being in Lexington, but there are no "we've moved" signs on this location directing traffic there, so it may be another owner. I see their last promotion was 'HUG SAL'. Without seeing her, it's hard to know if $8.99 was reasonable or not..
