There's a fairly new apartment block near the medical building site, but the only survivors on the block are along Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. This little mall is near Marlton Avenue. I'm not sure if any of the stores were still in business even on the earliest GSV images. The empty lot on the left was once occupied by Barker Bros, which I posted photos of in

For a comprehensive look at many of the buildings that once made up Santa Barbara Plaza just before they were demolished, check out
an article at architectureburger.com. It's quite long, but there are a lot of pictures and commentary.
