Broadway: 5300 block

More on the Broadway survey. Here is the 5300 block:

West side of street:
5300-34 is a modern shopping center, one story tall. It is anchored at the south end by a Blockbuster Video, which has a 2-story facade. Other businesses include: a home furnishings store, a medical professional office, a pay day loan office, an appliance rental, a cell phone store, an electronics store, and a fast food franchise. One storefront is vacant. A parking lot extends from 5308 to 5334, with curb cuts at either end.
5336-46 is a single story bank with drive thru. Curb cuts are at 5336 and 5346.
5348-50 is an older 3-story building. The first floor is occupied by a Colombian restaurant.
5352 is a two-story building with a modern, windowless mansard roof. It is vacant. And ugly.
5354-58 is an older, two-story building that wraps around to the 1200 block of W. Balmoral. The building contains a real estate office, a retail pet supply store, and an insurance office.

East side of street:
5301-49 is a large supermarket/pharmacy and parking lot. It actually faces the 1100 block of W. Berwyn. The parking lot extends from 5301 to 5319. The structure is approximately 25 feet in height.
5351-53 is a small, single-story Chinese grocery and parking lot.
5355-59 is an older, single-story building that wraps around to the 1100 block of W. Balmoral. The entire building is vacant and poorly maintained.
