Title: 3235-57 Main Street
Description: Photograph of a building at 3251-3257 Main, on the southeast corner of Main Street and Warner Plaza, circa 1990. Signs advertise the Cellblock bar and the adjacent Kon Tiki Room tiki bar. 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. The adjacent apartments appear to have been demolished in this image.
