What was once a popular teen hangout on Madison and currently is an eyesore is finally coming down. Bumpers, formerly a Sonic Drive-in the 1970s, met the wrecking ball Monday as Toby Gammell went to work to clear the property of the structure. According to the city codes department, the property is owned by Dr. S.L. Sethi of Canton, Mo., who intends to sell the lot and others he owns that are attached to it.
