Drive-By Photos 2

More photos!
Sports Authority, Exton, PA:
This shows partially what the original façade looked like on the shopping center
Genuardi's, Kimberton, PA:
Opened in 1992, was on of the first Genuardi's stores to close in 2011. Currently divided between Planet Fitness and ACE Hardware.
McDonald's, West Chester, PA
I figure this was a '60's location based on its size, demolished and rebuilt in 2014. This store had a creepy history: in the mid-80's, there was a gun massacre there. Didn't learn that until recently, after the store was rebuilt. My baseball coach taught at Bishop Shanahan at the time, and the murderer was apparently one of his students. I always thought this one looked a little creepy, and I guess now I understand why!
ACME Distribution Center, Philadelphia (Overbrook):
Built in the '50's relocated to Denver, Lancaster County in 1999. Currently Dependable Distribution Co., but still has ACME's original '50's signage. Not sure if it was kept up on account of laziness or historical preservation, but either way, its still cool. Took this picture from the train, got some weird looks from the people around me.
UPDATE: the top sign's gone. :(

Wawa and PNC, Westtown, PA
On the right: old 80's era Wawa that had recently relocated; On the left: '70's 4-chimney bank (not sure what it was originally, but it was a chain), bought out by PNC in the 90's. Wawa and an Exxon next door were torn down for redevelopment, PNC built a new store where the Wawa was, and plans are for the old PNC to come down to build something else. Update: The old PNC has been demolished as well. Rite Aid is just about ready to open there. First day of business is the Jan. 21st, 2016.
Gettysburg Battlefield:
View of a fairly important place in our nation's history.
Gettysburg Visitors Center:
I think this one was built in the '50's, closed in the early 2000's when the new one was built, I was at the battlefield again last weekend, and I couldn't find this place, though I didn't exactly search for it. I think there were plans to tear it down at some point, but I don't know if it happened yet. Update: It's gone. 
Per B-More Retail "I really liked the rooftop overlook on this building. Funny how this building was so criticized for being out of place, while at the same time while being demolished, a new modern mcdonalds was built across the street. Here is a fantastic album of the building from 2006: www.flickr.com/photos/edge_and_corner_wear/sets/721576235... "
Whiteland Town Center Sign, Exton, PA
Sign out by Rt. 100. Kohl's used to be Clover, Winner's Circle and Ulta have closed/Relocated respectively. Petco used to be Drug Emporium.
Chi-Chi's/Cheeseburger in Paradise/Pour House, Exton, PA
Was previously Cheeseburger in Paradise, which I would assume was run by Jimmy Buffett. It was a pretty nice restaurant with very mediocre burgers. Closed in 2012, with the Pour House opening shortly before this picture was taken.



West Whiteland Township Building Demolition, Exton, PA
Built in the 70's, relocated in the early 2000's, demolished 2013. UPDATE: The original, intact building can be seen <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/trek22/8130649384/in/photolist-dotGN5-8HrTSU-aMssLT-psiNgr-8TNbTs-8TXs3m-8Pjfot-vo2oKb-daptge-dappJi-daptDb-dapoLR-dapo2r-dapsTE-daps8j-daprvd-ta1iZ-es2Gb-9TWAbG-9TSiXD-9TV8mA-9TSiBr-9TSj26-9TSifR-9TSiLr-9TV8LE-6cBzrs-m9HMg6-8VQAYQ-ahzmSV-ta1xF-r7e4E-9TV8Co-BQp2v-BQp2d-bg4fxD-bg49Cc-7iJXdY-dapYD5-nAWs5Q-9wERvP-4RN329-uHzNv3-qGtBz6-mptoiZ-ivcbAT-pNpdiR-ueMjXi-4e9iqZ-4edhnS">here.</a>

One set of Girders was left up for about a week after the demolition mostly stopped. They eventually came down, and its now a parking lot.

 It should be an easy guess what two stores we'll feature today, but as usual we've got some stuff to go through before we get there. Let's get started! Colonial Theater, Phoenixville, PA If there's one building in Phoenixville you might recognize from something other than my photos, it would be this one. And that would mean you've seen 1958's The Blob . It opened as a playhouse in 1903, and switched to film in 1928. Occasionally a new movie makes it in here, but for the most part they show classics and have concerts here now. Rec Room, Phoenixville, PA Across the street from the theater, in what I am almost certain was an old 5-and-dime (From the 80's until a couple years ago it was a variety store), Conshohocken Brewing has opened up the Rec Room. It's about what you would expect, primarily restaurant/bar space, but with a few shuffleboard and ping-pong tables in back. Rapps Dam Bridge, Phoenixville, PA This old covered bridge was originally built in 1...

A lot of my posts lately have been outside looks at stores, but today I'll make it up to you. Like 75% of what I'm covering this post are store interiors. Without further ado, let's get started! Malvern Federal, Exton, PA Here's one of the more interesting bank buildings in the area. Its early history is a little complicated but I can tell you what stands today dates back at least to 1810 and was originally a farmhouse. The 1810 portion, made of stone, was added onto a log house constructed in 1771. This part may still be here, but nothing standing today obviously jumps out as a log structure so if it does still stand, it has been covered in stucco. It maintained its original use for close to 200 years, before Malvern Federal Savings bank bought the structure in 1964 and converted it to a bank. That lasted over fifty years, but then rumors began swirling that something bad was going to happen. Malvern sold the building to PREIT, who then announced plans to demolish the...

2020 Halloween Post: The American Cyanamid Labs of Princeton, NJ

 The story of how I wound up here goes all the way back to the beginning of Quarantine. Like the very beginning, where we literally weren't allowed to to be out in public on nonessential business. I, like most people, was stuck at home and bored out of my mind. To pass the time, I would find urbex sites (most of which are very stubborn about not giving out locations) and track down the buildings they featured. It was a fun challenge, almost like detective work. One site, Abandoned NJ , had a neat page on an unnamed Agricultural Research Facility. I became instantly obsessed- it was so modern but so decayed at the same time. It also had practically no clues on how to find it. It took me a few days, but ultimately I was able to track it down using a product name that appeared in one of the photos, finding the company that made that, then ultimately discovering that they still had a helipad registered at this address. After a few months when things had settled down virus-wise, I calle...
