What will take place of the Long John Silver's?

Just wondering: If Long John Silver's is going to be torn down, just what will take its place? --Vonda Derman
People in the neighborhood just say it will be a bank. There's no official word on it yet. It probably won't revert to the Petty House (or was it their pasture where the LJS is now). Trying to remember back to the 1950's, the neighborhood was almost another small town, with the big white Petty House, Reed Combests Gulf Station and Dodge/Plymouth Automobile Dealership, Bernice Arnold's A & W Root Beer & Hot Dog Stand, Donnie's, later Jim's Drive In, Jim Osborn's Auction House, the Methodist Circuit Parsonage, the Burris Boat Factory/later Twyman Stephen's Plumbing Building, the Curry Grocery which later became Brad Graham's Food Check Market, the Holland Harvey residence, and Mr. Hill's residence, just to name a few. Wonder if anyone has any photos from that era? -EW
