your question, along with eclipse's pics, got my own curiosity going. I recall a tire store being around that part of olympic, but it was torn down a few yrs ago. But even before then I don't ever recall another small bldg, much less 2 other small bldgs, also being on that stretch of olympic. that's why I was surprised to see the psychic reader store in eclipse's photo.
this shot of the area was taken back in 2011, so it still shows the small bldg you were talking about.....

^ there are so many layers of tackiness in dt, that one has to be there....actually standing smack dab in the hood....to recall & know what's there. the average person at the last minute will notice things like that now demolished old 2 story bldg, & be more
by that, then notice whether a new bldg is tall enough, or whether it lacks store space on the 1st floor, or whether it's architecturally wonderful enough.
I wish dtla had reached that stage in its evolution where I could be confident in guessing that most ppl, if they weren't thrilled with the hood, were honing in on things like a new apt bldg not being of Pritzker design quality instead of things like the tired old bldgs across from LA live. Or, yes, the horrible parking lots.
