Visions for Vacancies in Dedham: Friendly's

Our new Visions for Vacancies feature begins this week, a spot where you can have your say and sound off on what a vacant business property should become before plans are drawn.

Each week Dedham Patch will highlight a vacant building or structure in the Dedham community.

This week, we're looking for what you want to replace in the Dedham Plaza. The restaurant , and the place has remained close since.

Employees of surrounding businesses often used the restaurant as a breakfast or lunch place, and now have limited options without getting in their car.

With a kitchen and an eatery set-up, the space is prime for another restaurant, but what's the best fit?

So, if you had your way - ignoring zoning and planning restrictions - what would you want to go into the former Friendly's? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.
