Remember popping across the street from Management Hall to eat at IHOP, Wendy’s, Ken’s Sushi or Burger King? They’re gone now. You won’t believe how the oft-changing, scraggly row of restaurants, bars and retail has changed. Today, the construction of a new 17-story, 600,000-square-foot mixed-use complex looms over the corner of Broadway and 21st where the restaurants were. The IHOP has been gone for years, replaced by an electric vehicle charging station. A new pedestrian-friendly crosswalk features a much-needed traffic light and a giant whisk (it’s a bike rack). But all is not lost—Mellow Mushroom and SATCO remain in their usual places. Photo by Anne RaynerGerald Holly image circa 1995, courtesy of Special Collections and University Archives.
