Speculation
/
I was very sad to see Brother's Hardware go. It was local, with a friendly staff, and also enormous. No Home Depot, mind you, but perfect for all basic hardware needs, plus roach and ant baits (ew, yes, I need them).
The building's been empty for awhile, and it seems work's been going on inside. Construction permits reveal nothing. Jay bets it's a restaurant or bar, while Marina guesses coffee-shop-type-place.
Me? I'm not sure. It seems awfully big for a bar or coffee shop, or even a restaurant. What do we need the most?
- Book store (maybe selling a new-used combo? mmmm...)
- Flower shop/gardening center
- Clothing boutique (especially since Sodafine's moving to the 'Burg)
- Straightforward, good Italian restaurant
- Greek food
- Modern home furnishings store
What are you hoping for?
