I used to drive over from USC every Thursday (\"new comics day\" back then) to see what was out that week.  I would park along the west side of the building, and do vaguely recall 906 being the insurance agency though I don't recall <i>Reyland Medical<\/i> at all.  I know that <i>Silver City<\/i> moved out after a fire, but I can't recall if it affected 906 as well.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, since I used to go there so often, I always notice the building as I'm driving by, and saw a massage operation setting up shop there late last year.  It seemed to be one of those places having a hard time getting started, at least I never saw any cars there, or indeed any sign that it was open.  Finally going to <i>Krispy Kreme<\/i> one evening, I noticed a sign pasted to the door, and figured it had gone under, but when I stopped to take a picture, the sign said something about a \"grand opening\" instead.  I think that was in mid-February.  Then when I went by last weekend, I saw the (generously timelined)  \"Artsy Fartsy\" sign you see here.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 29 Oct 2010<\/b> -- Well, <i>Artsy Fartsy<\/i> is to be a coffee bar as well as an art gallery:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/10\/10\/p1170807.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"..\/pix\/10\/10\/p1170807_tn.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The part of this building at 904 Knox Abbott Drive that is now a cleaners was the original location for Silver city comics, which is now up the street in an old Hardee's building.
