Wonder if the fire did them in...


I was told by a real estate agent once that Cruz was doing very well, even in the economic downturn. He owns a lot of real estate downtown that he bought in the 80s or 90s for pennies and is now worth a lot of money. I think he's realized he can make a boat load on rent - location is fantastic, lots of space etc - so that's why it's up for rent.

I would think he would have been ok with the fire scenario, provided he had the right kind of insurance.

Good, it looked like a dump. The more of these crappy places close up shop the better. Chains or not, anything will be an improvement.


Always liked their hand-painted sign, actually. But the one time we went in to look at furniture they just totally ignored us, even when we said hi.

Wow, a Subway, a 7-11, and a real estate office, what an exciting block :)

i think the real estate office is expanding. I am guessing that a 7-11 will replace A1

The building where MXLPLXXPX and A-1 Deli were recently forced out of. I noticed today that the real estate office on the southernmost end of the building (ReMax I think?) was mostly evacuated with floors torn up, etc. Is something afoot with the building, I wonder?

Or are they just raising the rents immensely? The only two businesses which remain are GNC and Subway, both national chains which are notorious for staying afloat amid rising rents.

I'd love to see that building refaced actually, with nice storefronts and a nice brick veneer instead of that very depressing beige cast concrete along the entire building. Would really liven up that entire block.
