Fisher Plaza, 5842 W. Central Ave.

I have yet to find an original name for this small shopping center, assuming there ever was one. So I’m calling it Fisher Plaza. Carl and Anna Fisher once owned the property and had the plaza built in 1950-51. The builder was D.A. Spitznaugle.

Kmart, 1801 W. Alexis Rd.

Opened in 1976. Closed 2017. Now U-Haul Self Storage and Truck Rental.

Omni Plaza, 5305 Monroe St.

Built in 1987. Will likely be demolished to make way for a Sheetz gas station.
