An Eastside developer has bought the whole half block that contains Bauhaus Coffee, Spine and Crown Books, Wall of Sound Records, and five other merchants who help define the soul of the Pike/Pine Corridor.

All except the facades will be demolished, for yet another mixed-use behemoth.

The businesses themselves will be gone, either this June or next June (sources are contradictory about this).

And they probably can’t afford the new spaces when they finally open, at least a year and a half later.
