Disappearing downtown Americana-




Downtown Seattle has seen big changes with the building of new luxury hi-rise condominiums and up-scale shopping, bringing and end to that quintessential downtown American establishment: the local Loan, Pawn & Gun Shop!


After 64 years in business, the Central Loan & Gun Exchange will close its doors forever on May 24. Marking and end to the downtown "old school" pawn shop in Seattle (there was once over 20 of them in the area).

Even though these VR shots were taken two days before closing and show a decline in merchandise, it looks very much as it did in 1974 when John Wayne staged a scene here for his cop-action movie "Mc Q" (one of his last movies).


See the VR movies here:

The page above also includes a link to a newpaper story about the shop.




PS: Speaking of John Wayne- here's a great "virtual tour" of Seattle given by John Wayne himself!

Although Steve McQueen did a much better one of San Francisco I think ;)
