The big lots and tractor supply was a ames until thier bankruptcy it sat vacant for 5 years I was amazed that something moved in after it was abandoned for so long. The shop n save was an old Kroger. Once Kroger closed shop n save moved in in under a year in part of it then dollar general took the other part of it a couple years later. The shopping center was hurting for a while but has seemed to gain new life. The long John silvers you filmed was torn down and a taco bell is moving in.

We used to have an Ames (Now Big Lots). Yes this location is now a Taco Bell. I can confirm that. The downfall of Long Johns is that they never changed their menu or added anything new. Yes they had A&W but people stopped eating grease at some point. Thanks for showing this off.

Tables were holding the WALL PIECES in place for years. See the pieces in the floor? That's how they were standing up. Tables shoved there to hold them up.
