The old EB location gets an update
Driving by good ol' 931 South Matlack Street recently I noticed construction on the old EB building. First there was just a lot of material going in and out the warehouse bays, presumably construction inside the warehouse area. (Maybe with cleanup of the hydraulic oil slicks I left while using the old scissor lift to remove the last of the wireless access points from the warehosue rafters...) More recently there has been construction ouside the building, in the side walkway area. New sinage is up out front too. A few pictures I grabbed...
The above were taken from the area of the old front door. Looks like the new owners are installing an elevator to get between floors. Would have been a great asset to have when we did the computer room move as a part of the phase-2 expansion!
View from the upper lot. Looks like there may be space for a stairwell behind the elevator shaft. Nice bridge to the upper lot. I assume they'll be busting through the brick wall to the 2nd level once exterior construction is done.
I miss the days when it still read "Electronics Boutique." Spaz is still across the street, although I think they may be moving to a new location on Rt 3 soon.
The Matlack Street/US-202 intesection most of us would see at least twice a day. If you look closely you can see that Kelly's Sports still has their holiday decorations up on the side of the building.
Hope all is well for everyone and happy new year!
