This week, we're looking at the commercial/retail space at 288 North Main St. The location could be ideal for a brand new retail store or boutique. The question not only becomeswhat kind of business could go here that would draw enough business for itself, but also what could drive foot traffic to the area.  Some of the suggestions for such properties have been a bookstore or a facility like the Children's Museum in Easton.

To start off, we have one of the most prominent vacant lots in the town, in between the fire station on 291 North Main St. and the Joseph Witt Salon on 313 North Main St. The location could be ideal for either retail, housing or parking as it is in walking distance to the train and could provide the downtown area with more foot traffic. If it's a retail business building with apartments on upper floors, it would need more space for parking…
