Tim, I thought by 'old' you meant 'closed down'.
SILLY ME.
I see stock hanging in the doorway, so still in business (unless they closed in such a hurry they didn't bring in th stuff and close the door).
A bit of plastering/painting wouldn't go astray.

I hesitate going in. Nice in black and white.

I lived around the block from this old building twenty years ago. I drove by it a while back and it's much the same as it was then.

The building didn't sell at that auction. It is still dilapidated. Even the sign was still up there, last time I saw it.

this one's not in that bad shape, but it looks from another time

You have all too easy pickings for this category unfortunately- such a shame :*(

To be fair, this never reached its best - the build was abandoned before completion

This picture was taken 6 years ago - this is rising to the top of the redevelopment list, but not there yet

In its former glory (2012)

Today, pre-demolition

There are so many new condo projects in the neighbourhood (including the one in behind, built since 2012) they seem to be running out of names for them.

"Shellubrication" - long time since I've seen that one. Probably about the last time I saw a "Lubritorium"
