The redevelopment doesn't have to eliminate the ethnic independent shops and residences, although it may price some of them out of the town center. In fact, I would think that the presence of office workers during the day and hundreds of new apartments would actually help many of the better small businesses like Marchone's or Saigonese. There is an overabundance of small business space in Wheaton, including a number of unleased properties. A healthier Wheaton looks like an integration of the best small businesses, mainstream retail stores, residences, and offices.randallspadonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082470015404907484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-47098336820432237482013-09-16T13:26:41.330-04:002013-09-16T13:26:41.330-04:00Good bye Wheaton town center.
