I dont remember anything inside the store though.
You might be thinking of Downtown Train & Camera, That was by downtown Detroit. I don't recall any tall buildings near Lopo's on Chalmers.
Bob,
When I lived on the east side, the tallest structure from my home, east of Kelly Rd., and north of Whittier Rd., was 3 stories, if that. When the Eastland Professional Building was built, circa 1960, [about 2 miles north of my home on Kelly Rd. and roughly, The M & M Rd. Mile (8 Mile Rd.)], it dwarfed anything in the vicinity.
Unfortunately, unless you were traveling, say, from Dearborn, from Downriver, or, from Mt. Clemens, as John 23 says, there weren't any tall buildings near Lopo's.
