If you mean the Hobbs Building (Somerville Theatre building) corner, that went from American Discount Pharmacy to Buck-a-Book (first location) to Someday Cafe to Mr. Crepe.

I think the second Buck-a-Book location, soon to become Chipotle, was formerly a liquor store.

Family Dollar replaced Friendly Family Center (FFC) , a small local chain that carried similar goods. McDonalds was here before, closed, then opened again a few years later at its current site.

That sounds right ... so Buck-a-Book was on the corner first, and then moved into the second location (formerly the perpetual halloween store!) displacing the discount liquor store.

... I remember FFC. I didn't realize McDonald's had been here before.
