What Do You Wish Was Here?
Tell us what would you like to see in this vacant business.
Our city's commerical vacany rate is currently between 8 percent and 10 percent. San Rafael Patch is featuring each week a vacant or abandoned building or lot and asking readers: "What do you wish was here?"
The idea was inspired by Candy Chang from New Orleans, who in 2010 created "I wish this was" stickers and placed thousands around the city for residents to fill in the blanks. Stickers can be bought online here.
This corner of Fifth Avenue and Court Street used to be the home of a specialty store where you could find the most interesting treasures from around the world, until it closed it's doors last year. What do you wish took its place?
