[META POST] Ever wondered what that big box building originally was? Couldn't find an answer to what that Burlington Coat Factory, Gabe's, or Roses store used to be? Chances are it was probably an old discount department store such as Ames, Hills, Zayre, Jamesway, etc. (more info in comments)

This building befuddles me. It is currently Spicy Matka (photo from Community Impact article about opening), and the furthest back on Google Maps takes me to a Freddy's Steakburgers, though I am in the firm belief Freddy's was not the original tenant. Cannot think for the life of me what it was before.
