A building most recently home of the Goodwill Store in Opelika comes down for additional parking for the First Baptist Church. The work progresses this week. It was the old “Big Apple” when it moved from South 8th Street and Railroad, the Southern Electronics building of today. According to Henry Stern it was built in the late 1950′s or early 1960′s.
