I am going to add this later. I personally believe the shopping center renoved the canopy to make the building more appealing for redevelopement. An old Kmart store in Amherst that was replaced with a Super Kmart in Lorain still has its canopy intact (even after nearly 20 years of not being a Kmart!) It was on Kresge Drive and is now Save a Lot and Pat Catans craft store.NickEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204643187244801996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-16177137394322294932011-12-24T14:42:44.349-05:002011-12-24T14:42:44.349-05:00I guess Kmart sold the canopy for scrap metal.
