Or is it the Cafe Brazil building? This week, the bulldozers took down the building on Abrams between Richmond and Belmont that has been there for at least the past 25 years.

Though Cafe Brazil was the most recent tenant (and one of the longest tenured), I will always remember the site for the Blue Front, the Lakewood outpost for the long-time downtown Eastern European favorite. And, if memory serves, wasn’t there a barbecue and seafood restaurant on that spot? It seemed to play revolving concepts in the ’90s.
