Visions for Vacancies: Burke's Pharmacy

Ever since Burke's Pharmacy closed late in 2011, there's been a hole to be filled at 8500 Harford Road, the pharmacy's former home.

According to a Baltimore Sun article published last October, owner Pat Burke made the decision to close the Parkville location along with a Burke's Pharmacy in Reisterstown and Chestnut AID pharmacy in Hampden.

The question now is what would you like to see take Burke's place?

An online real estate listing says that the 3,000 square foot building is available for lease at a rate of $3,450 per month and that you could buy the building (including two upstairs apartments and a "garage warehouse") for $549,000.
