The east side of the 800 block of Broad Street was residential throughout the early and mid 20th century.

In the early 1970s, Eckerd Drugs demolished four houses - about half the block - to build a drugstore, set far behind a surface parking lot. When Eckerd's moved north to Broad and Guess Road in the late 1990s, the former drugstore became a Dollar General.

This is an abysmal land use - they don't even set drugstores behind this much surface parking in the suburbs anymore. I hope that someday this goes away, and a new building is built up to the corner.
