Back in the 70s or 80s that building was hit on the corner from a car trying to turn down the side street, not a lot of damage but it would make for a much worse result for that driver today.

I don't think my brain's physics engine is powerful enough to figure out what would happen. Nose dive? Belly flop? Would the car land on its side? Tumble?

Assuming a normal front-engine car, almost assuredly a nose dive...

Is this a Filene's Hole situation or should we expect something to actually go in there soon?

It's certainly too early to declare it a Filene's Hole situation - nobody's started something and then gone bankrupt. I suspect there's a slow process going on involving the property owner, their insurance company, whatever insurance the individual businesses had, and any potential tenants of a new building, and that's all before it even goes before the city for permits.

The property is now for sale, according to Somerville Patch.
