"Google must be using some outdated pictures?"
There appear to be several views that show the two establishments "open for business" ... these show an old dark-gray sidewalk. The views that show both "boarded up" appear to have been taken after a new light gray sidewalk was poured, and show construction barriers are still in place in the street. Perhaps the shop and travel agency just closed down during the sidewalk construction? ... or perhaps just protecting their windows from jackhammer scatter?

Wonder if they re-opened after the construction was finished? Anybody here live close to the place?
