No no no! The building is still there at the corner of Broadway and Douglas. It is now the Ambassador Hotel. In the basement there is a speakeasy named Dockum. It’s amazing! Around the corner we have a museum that has the picture they showed, a video, and a replica of a stool and counter I believe was from the drugstore. We have so much history in our city.
