I noticed recently that this place, next to the old Galaxy World<\/a> arcade was vacant, but had no memory of what it was.<\/p>\n

The sign was inside propped up against the window, but I didn't want anyone thinking I was fooling around with their car, so I didn't get out. Google says it was a party rental store, Thompson's Grand Rental Station<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I'm sure that wasn't the first tenant though. The building is another one of those buildings \"of a certain age\" in Columbia with rock facades, and the odd little bay-window nook on the back side looks as thought it may have been a drive-up window at some point.<\/p>\n

According to my fuzzy memory, this little stretch of road, now elevated above Two Notch proper was once Two Notch itself before I-77 was cut through. I also think there was a little locksmith kiosk up there for a long time, even after Two Notch moved.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12 September 2012<\/b> -- It's now a Harley store:<\/p>\n
