I like this idea! |

Today I was speaking with a friend of mine and she suggested that perhaps the building could be transformed into an "organic" type marketplace. I don't know how many people are into organics but these type products/produce seem to be very popular these days. |

I agree, a WAWA would be fantastic. Let's just hope it isn't something negative like a go-go bar. |

Given the high gas price, a convenient store will have bright future. It will attract people to Main St. area as well. |

a WAWA might be good at the corner of old trenton road and main street. for non-locals, it is a pain to drive 25 mph to get a coffee in the town. |

Michael with all due respect, a WAWA would totally take away any sense of a historic building. If I'm not mistaken, all WAWA's must conform to a standard corporate cookie-cutter look. This look would only serve as an eye sore in our historic district. |

Drive throughs are not in line with the town character and not allowed in the district from what I recall in our zoning rules. Prevents a McDonalds or Burger King establishment. |

we are too small of a town for a wawa. A nice restaurant with outside seating - sushi? |

The PNC bank had two drive-thru lanes. What's the difference between sitting in the car waiting for bank transaction and waiting for food transaction? |

Good Idea - a great coffee shop would be great. Maybe you could sell special coffee beans too. |

If I am the owner, I'll divide the building into two stores: 1) a coffee and deli with drive through, and 2) a tutoring center for school kids. |

I'm sure it will be a commercial store or professional building. We no longer have to worry about what should be there. Now, any interested party can feel free to view and purchase the property. |
