I don't particularly concern myself with \"timeliness\" here. For one thing, I'm just one guy with a car and a camera -- there's no way I could keep up with everything closing, even if I somehow knew about it. For another thing, I may care more about some place that closed 20 years ago than some other storefront that went under yesterday.<\/p>\n

With that said, after commenter Tom mentioned it in Have Your Say<\/i> and after I saw the story in The State<\/a> that today was the last day in business for Jim Moore Cadillac<\/i>, I thought I might as well drive by and get some pictures.<\/p>\n

According to The State<\/i> the dealership is a casualty of GM's ongoing death-spiral<\/s> restructuring. The story is a bit vague about whether the store was making a go of it otherwise, saying only that sales had been \"improving\".<\/p>\n

I really don't have any mental tags for this dealership at all. We were never a Cadillac family, and the only commercials I recall were for what I presume was a related business, \"Moore Hudson Olds\", which all had a distinctively overmodulated announcer pretending to be live from their lot. Still it's always sad to see a landmark like this close, and Main street definitely doesn't need another vacant lot.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 30 Nov 2010<\/b> -- Here's some more pictures taken on a brighter day:<\/p>\n
