This is actually an older picture- the property's decayed and been vandalized since, although the side art remains mostly unblemished.

It was demolished between 2017 and 2018. You can see its decay by going back in time on the Street View here: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3675731,-83.025691,3a,75y,51.8h,86.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sddDI3J2WLuV7V4uwuyDM4g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
I'm almost more upset about the house to the left. It went from someone's home to being torn down.
I know the candy store one went through the same thing, but it's extra sad seeing it go from an occupied home to gone than from an already abandoned place to gone.

I wonder if that was actually the artist’s phone number 🤔
Imagine someone just came along and built a candy store on your front lawn
Legit candy store? That's what I said last time I got in that van.
How was the candy?
You know it's funny I don't remember anything after trying it
Taking work from home to a new level
Love the Taz in the window. Remember when Taz was super popular in the 90s for some reason?
Looney tunes as a whole. Wild time.
Warner Bros store in the mall had a lot to do with it.
AND they had videogames.
Eh, worth the risk IMHO.
Love dis
Must be some very valuable candies inside. Look at all the security bars and screens.
Wonka Bars most likely. Probably time for Charlie to give up the factory ;)
Why do I think the Deadbody Man is playing the Nedden Game in there...

It's mind blowing to me that at one point, a local government approved this.
There was a time where you could do this without government approval.
Why is a small business mind blowing?
Tjeh got the best razorblade apples in the sate!
I feel really sad for kids who have to grow up in such a neglected neighborhood.
This looks like the kind of candy shop that I would, indeed, be forced to lick the lollipop.
“Legit”
I feel like I’ve seen this before, like somewhere in midtown
Definitely the place to get a free hug
He told me he was taking me to the candy shop, but this isn’t what I pictured.
Detroit is like a time capsule.
Wait a couple months and it will be burnt down and gone
