Title
3245-49 Main Street
Description
Photograph of a building at 3245-3249 Main, on the northeast corner of Main Street and Warner Plaza, circa 1981. A sign reading "The Right Drink at the Right Price" hangs on Milton's Tap Room jazz club at 3241 Main and can be seen on the adjacent building at the left of the image, and a section of the Warner Plaza apartments are visible at the right. A twin building stood across Warner Plaza to the south. The area, south of Linwood Boulevard to 34th Street, between Main and Gillham, was deemed blighted and ridden with crime in drugs in the late 1980s, and these buildings, as well as other homes, apartments, and commercial buildings, were demolished in the early and mid-'90s as part of the so-called "Glover Plan" to be replaced by the Midtown Marketplace development, a large commercial development anchored by big box retailers Home Depot and Costco.
