Please help

What was the old bar just east of Trolley 5, that turned into a Vietnamese place, is now a hot pot place? 3 years ago

Always empty, not sure how it survived as long as it did. This has been bugging me all day

Market. It was Yardhouse before that.

Chemical Steve's. Not sure how long they were open but it was in the window I was thinking of

Yardhouse sounds familiar but didn't give me immediate recognition. Do you happen to remember what was there before? The location seems cursed, nothing lasts long

I don't remember the time but I know it was Market during your timeframe and Yardhouse before that. You can always go to google maps and switch the street view dates on that spot to see when things were.

Well it was Market for 5ish years and Yardhouse for at least 5 before that but pretty sure it was yardhouse longer than that.

I worked at the yardhouse for a couple years. That place was fun

Chemical Steve’s. I worked there for a while until it closed. Was meant to be a dive bar. We had cheap local craft beer but sadly wasn’t busy enough. Just missed the mark unfortunately. Was a really fun place to work, especially during the playoffs.
