Prior to 2007, this building was used by a used car dealership. The building was vacant for many years after that. It may have housed a Chinese restaurant originally. It has currently housed a few other used car dealerships. [map]

Weigel's started as a dairy business in 1931. They now operate over 40 convenience stores in Eastern Tennessee. These buildings were probably built in the 1960s. The location on Kingston Pike had a single canopy. This photo is from 2011. In 2015, the building was completely remodeled.

The location on Whittle Springs Rd. has a canopy on both sides of the building. It housed the Neighborhood Mart when this photo was taken in 2011. By 2017, the building was housing the R&S Market. [map]

The Moore & King Pharmacy was designed by Mario Bianculli and built in 1961. The store closed in 2013. By 2015, the building was housing the ANCLA insurance office and the sign had been adapted. I believe the building is vacant now. [map]
