For example I am right now sitting in an Arby’s. I’m trying to figure out what business was here before Arby’s? Which would’ve been at least 20 years ago.

Is there a website or someplace that I could easily search this information at, preferably for free.

Edit: the arbys building was built when they moved in. I’m curious what business was there before.

      There are tools out there that analyze public records in a more usable format (ex. shipping records, elected representative financials)

      Might be cool to have that for property records for curiosity and analysis, but I guess that might increase abuse?

        Yeah, I’m happy for it to be inconvenient. Just this morning I got a spear-phishing email with my full home address and name trying to trick me into canceling a fake auto-renew subscription.
