In 2014, the entire side of this block was razed
What once was the Smolly's Bakery & Deli, Sleep E-Z Mattress Co, Artis Hotel, Automotive Bearing, Eighth Street Furniture, Friendly tavern and other businesses over the years was demolished in June 2011
The Desarai Lounge was the last business to occupy part of this structure
The only building remaining in the block is what once was Max Phillips grocery
The buildings were dilapidated, empty for many years and had become an eyesore
