I had the same problem you did. There is a discussion on r/grandrapids about that photo as well. At that time, Monroe did not go all the way through to Fulton and instead turned up Monroe Center (which was a much wider street). Here's a picture of that intersection (from that reddit discussion).

At this point, I am beginning to wonder if Gilmore is going to reopen Red Jet cafe. There is a rumor among employees, who have been moved to other restaurants, that it will not be reopened. While work crews were obviously busy there for the first few months since the early April fire, there has been no obvious activity there for nearly two months. The work appears to be done, based on my very scientific method of looking in the open back door. I do hope it reopens and continues to be a vibrant part of the Creston area as there are (finally) some exciting things happening there.

The owners of Sun Title (located in the building just north on Plainfield -- to the far left in the picture) purchased the building and are renovating it. They went to the library to get original pictures of the building before it was skinned and wanted to reveal the original facade. Based on their current building, I would expect the finished product to be very nice. The Creston area community was impressive in how fast and hard they rallied and raised money for the Plainfield improvement project.
