First, the Lakewood Garden Center vanished from the Albertson center at Mockingbird and Abrams. Then it disappeared from the vacant lot (soon to be a car wash) at Mockingbird and Skillman. Now it has returned at the site of the torn down Arcadia theater on Lower Greenville.

Talk about a creative use of real estate. I won’t ask whether this is allowed by the property’s zoning. It is, after all, a vacant lot (and there are lots of people much more interested in zoning down that way than I am). Still, the center’s resiliency is impressive.
