Two weeks ago we told you that the original Snuffer's was no more. Earlier today Instagram (which has been proven to be marginally more accurate at breaking news than CNN) reports that it is gone.

Instagram user Doylerader posted this photo to his stream earlier today, saying simply, "Bye Snuffers." The building was demolished a few moments later.

In the wake of the destruction a new Snuffer's will be built on the same location. The original building was built in 1978 and owner Pat Snuffer is devoted to recapturing the old charm in his new building. "The new building will look and feel like the old one, with many of the same design elements," Snuffer said in an interview with City of Ate.

But how's he going to recapture the smells?
