What Should Move into the Corner of the Plaza at 23 Mile and Card?

You've lived in Macomb Township for five, 10, maybe 25 years, but have you ever had a say in community planning?

Despite its name, community planning is not a community-wide effort. We're going to change that–even if it's just in theory–here on Patch.

Taking a 21st-century spin on community planning, Patch is putting everything on the digital drawingboard and asking residents to share their visions for vacant properties in town.

Periodically, we'll present a new vacant building and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use. Forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. If you had your way, what would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?

Last week, we asked about the now vacant at 19077 Hall Road. Again, requests for a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods swept the comments, with a few new votes for an IKEA. Other readers felt the location should stay true to its original purpose and remain a dealership. On this end, two votes went to Subaru and one to a Saab Dedicated Service Center. 

This week, we feature two storefronts in the plaza at 23 Mile and Card roads. Both stores, located at 21940 and 21952 23 Mile Road, respectively, have been vacant for some time. One was formerly the home of Soccer Plus.

What would you like to see move into the plaza that is already home to businesses such as , and ?
