A family friendly pizza place with whole pizzas and pizza by the slice. Would be nice to have a few retro games like pacman and pinball. A little outdoor seating along the south side of building.

How about a Hardware store?!

How about a bookstore that Shorewood funds and allows the owners to walk away from? Oh wait, that idea was already taken.

A small cafe that concentrates on breakfast and lunch.

I like the idea of a hardware store, or an ethnic restaurant--Mexican or Indian food.

IMHO we have enough sandwich options here: Sendik's deli, Alterra (great lunch sandwiches!), City Market..

I like the hardware store idea or a mexican restaurant.

What--Nobody but me likes Indian food?

A Thai food place might be good too...

Cow, sorry. Cant see those types making it,

Maybe Big Bay Brewing could move in there and expand to do some brewing onsite. Make it a true brewpub rather than just a tasting room...

I'd actually like to see a nice hardware store move in. I usually end up driving to Home Depot or Ace in Glendale to pick something up. Would be nice to have something around the corner.

Several good ideas here, but the biggest problem is it's owned by Katz. He would rather leave a space vacant for years rather than reduce the rent to a more reasonable level - never made sense to me.

Adam, ever go to the Ace on Downer? Seems closer than the one in Glendale.

Whatever replaces Actaea, it will be neglected just like the rest of the block. Ever notice that the Katz properties are never shoveled during snow storms. Calling the village about this problem seems to fall on deaf ears.

Chipotle !!!

Nudie Bar?

Gay Bar?

wow cow dung...lol. A Hardware store would be great. I loved the old one. I used to but pumpkins there as a kid. Smaller shops also seem to make better quality keys ( I have found anyway) and I seem to always need one made. I also think a mexican place would be nice. BUT PLEASE no more bread or coffee places.

They have Curves health clubs specifically designed for women. How about a hardware store geared towards women?

The Tool Shed.

I'm sure that more than a few North Shore husbands would be happy to have their wives share their interest in hardware.

You'd think with the proximity to the high school and middle school that you'd want something that caters to the kids as well as adults. High traffic corner with not a lot of parking. Since we as a people like to eat, I say restaurant like Comet or something. Be nice to be a little more original and not as 'polished' as the other places in town for dining.

With chains like Subway and Anytime Fitness already in that complex, it would be nice to see something unique in that space. Casual, sit-down dining like Rio West or Corazon would be nice. The high school kids can always go to Subway, Sendik's, Vedo's, or other places up on Capitol like Cousin's or Wendy's.

How about a Marc's Big Boy again? What? There are no more left in Wisconsin?! Crap...alright, hardware store it is.

Vietnamese or Thai restuarant
