Commenter Jamie pointed out this closing some time ago<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

Later, in March of last year (2011) commenters 59 Ford Wheelman<\/a> and tonkatoy<\/a> noted that the place was being torn down.<\/p>\n

That time, I did<\/i> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

(Noland itself remains in business in other places<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
