Millard Plaza (Millard Ave & Q St)
So, the rumor I've heard is that Lord of Hosts Church is taking over almost the entire plaza. Pheasant Bar & Grill, American Legion, Ryker Power Sports, Dollar General, and Shirley's Diner all have to find new homes.

Shirley's Diner has a different owner then the rest of those businesses. That said, the Shirley's owner passed away earlier this year so I guess that building could be up for sale?

I thought it was weird too that Shirley's was included in this as it's a standalone building and not really part of that strip mall plaza, so I double-checked with the guy I heard it from and he insisted Shirley's had to go too.Brad wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 9:56 am Shirley's Diner has a different owner then the rest of those businesses.

Re: Millard Plaza (Millard Ave & Q St)
I've always found it odd that a church establishes itself in a strip mall... and then slowly consumes all of the other tenant space. Wonder if Pizza Machine will be affected?
Ultimately it will be a church with its own Scooters? I suppose... there's a church on West Dodge on the south side around 150th that has their own coffee shop. Who would have thunk it?

There are actually three in there. Lord of Hosts, Stone Bridge, and a Baptist Church.djc311 wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 10:41 am I've always found it odd that a church establishes itself in a strip mall... and then slowly consumes all of the other tenant space. Wonder if Pizza Machine will be affected?

Re: Millard Plaza (Millard Ave & Q St)
That mall has been cursed since Hinky Dinky opened it up. (Remember when a foul ball with an axe to grind shot off a flare gun inside the store?)
I'm not a hydrologist or geotechnical engineer, but I was led to believe that there are a bunch of springs underneath the property, that were never seen to properly before the mall was built. That's why the parking lot resembles a minefield. Lord of Hosts is welcome to it.

I"ve always been curious about what I call the "Church Mall" at 56th and Sorensen, what was it before it became dedicated to churches?djc311 wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 10:41 am I've always found it odd that a church establishes itself in a strip mall... and then slowly consumes all of the other tenant space.

I saw that the old VFW at 5083 s 136th st. has reopened now as a new place called Millennium Night Club.
