This building was built as a Taco Cid<\/a> and I ate there from time to time in the 1980s. I believe that Bright Animal Clinic<\/i> was the first, and so far only, operation to use the building since Taco Cid<\/i> left.<\/p>\n

The clinic's closing sign mentions that they were established in 1971, so a) This is obviously not their first location and b) That's a 40 year run, and sounds like a well deserved retirement.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see what happens with the building. There still have been no takers for the nearby Olive Garden<\/a> and Red Lobster<\/a> buildings, but the nearby laundry does OK, and there should be a fair number of ofice workers in the area after the county finishes the takeover of Decker Mall<\/i>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 18 April 2013<\/b> -- It's to be an Atlantic Seafood<\/i>:<\/p>\n
