(La Porte, IN) - A former used car lot building in La Porte has been torn down. The building that housed Spoor’s Auto Sales at Pine Lake Avenue and Truesdell Avenue for several decades is no more. 

At one of the busiest intersections in the city, the demolition was done yesterday to make way for a 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station. The 7-Eleven will not have a traditional look as other stores in the chain.

At the city’s request, the design will reflect a more modern look to compliment the appearance of the city’s lakes and other aspects of nature.
