The building is still there. They fixed up the building and removed the horrible glass sheds from the front. The developer, Sarkis, told the neighborhood group that he couldn't develop the site unless they let him keep the sheds. He argued that the store fronts would remain empty unless he got to keep the sheds. The neighborhood stuck to it's guns and Sarkis was called on his bluff. It's great that they didn't back down. It looks a whole lot better now.
ps I believe the Friday's glass shed is also going away.
