Times change. Funky little corner of Squire Park will be gone.

I used to live right around 16th Ave and Union and just up the street from the location of this newly approved six story building on the corner of E Union St and 14th Ave. Back in the day (oh about 10 years ago) on this lot you would have found four little buildings featuring such businesses such as; a weird little shop that repaired lawnmowers & then displayed them on the sidewalk, a nifty junk/antique shop, a great little coffee shop and a tiny neighborhood beauty salon. Ah…how times change, hopefully some interesting new shops will replace the character that was once there. (If you have any photos of how this intersection used to look, could you leave a link in the comments? Thanks!)
