Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at 466 Northampton St. Most recently, this building functioned as a clothing store, the second home of Her Swagg, which moved downtown from the West Ward. What could take its place? What does this part of the city need? Tell us in the comments.

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week's made me a little sad. I was a fan of Island Taste at 444 Northampton Street, one of the first restaurants we wrote about when we launched. But it's been vacant for several weeks now. I wish I'd eaten there -- well, gottent take-out to eat at home -- more often.  What could take its place? What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments.

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at 228 W. Canal St., which was, for a little while, the home of Champ's Corner, Larry Holmes' restaurant. He's since decided to move out of that space and back to his original spot downtown, leaving Champ's Corner without a champ. What could take its place? What does this part of the city need? Tell us in the comments.

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at 54 S. Second St., the onetime -- for a little while anyway -- home of Innovaciones III, an office supply store. It's vacant now, and for rent. What could take its place? What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at 355 Ferry St., which was most recently the local campaign headquarters of Democratic Congressional candidate Matt Cartwright.  (We featured the former headquarters his primary opponent, U.S. Rep. Tim Holden, a few weeks ago.) But elections are temporary things. We're looking at something more long-term. What could take its place? What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at 154 Northampton St., the former home of the Middle Eastern restaurant Phoenicia. The eatery re-opened last year, and at one point even planned to expand. Now, there's a "for lease" sign in the window. What could take its place? What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments. 

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at 431 Northampton St. It spent a few months as the local campaign headquarters for U.S. Rep. Tim Holden. It's also one of the buildings the Easton Main Street Iniative has chosen for its "Faces of Easton" campaign.  What could take its place? What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments. 

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty or unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we're looking at the defunct video store on the 700 block of Northampton Street.  If you live or do business in the neighborhood you might have noticed the building, still advertising movies -- such as I Am Legend -- that haven't been new to video for some time now.  Let's pretend someone wanted to take this space over. What could take its place? What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments. 

Every two weeks, we ask our readers for suggestions for empty, unusued spaces around Easton. Think of it as a digital version of those "I Wish This Was" stickers. This week, we've set our sites on Chritopher's Market on West Berwick Street, which sits boarded up on an otherwise residential block. When I stopped by on Friday to take these photos, I talked to some residents who'd love to see it reopened. This isn't a neighborhood that has a lot of stores. Of course, we'd welcome other suggestions. What does this neighborhood need? Tell us in the comments. 

The Rite Aid on Easton's South Side closed down a few months ago, with a company representative stating that "it no longer made sense" to have a store at that location. That still leaves a big vacant building in the shopping center on Line Street, and we're asking, as we do every two weeks, what our readers would like to see in that space. What does the neighborhood need? Let us know in the comments.  

Last year, a check-cashing business tried to open -- unsucessfully -- at 345 Ferry Street.  Before that, the space was occupied by a short-lived bail bonds service. And now it's vacant, and we're asking, as we do every two weeks, what our readers would like to see in that space. What does the neighborhood need? Let us know in the comments.

It's hard to miss: a building that resembles a castle, sitting at the corner of Seventh and Northampton streets. It's called the Armory, and the city has wanted something done with it -- other than its apparent use as a storage space -- for many years. Earlier this year, Easton put the Armory on its blighted property list.  The question to our readers: What would you like that restoration to look like? What does the neighborhood need? Let us know in the comments.

In this week's "Visions For Vacancies" column, we're looking at the old Cottingham School on Northampton Street. It's been empty for years, after serving both as a school and as the Easton Area School District administration offices. In March, the Easton Area School Board voted to sell the building, but put a condition on the sale: the buyer needs to show a plan to "promptly restore" the old school. The question to our readers: What would you like that restoration to look like? What does the neighborhood need? Let us know in the comments.

Typically, we reserve this space for vacant storefronts. This week, we're looking at a more problematic property. The city put the former former Stewart Silk Mill/Black Diamond site on the South Side on its blighted list last year. Most of the properties on that list are standalone buildings; this one takes up most of a block, and would need a lot more in the way of repairs.  Speaking to the Easton Area School Board earlier this month, Mayor Sal Panto alluded to a local builder "who'd love to go in and build buildings" on the property. What would you like to see at this property, along West …

The last time we did one of these features, we looked at the former Fox's Pizza Den on South Third Street. This time out, we've moved just a few yards away, to what was briefly known as King's Farmers' Market back in 2010. The question, as always: What would you like to see in this space? Last time out, a lot of people suggested a grocery store. This place seems like the more obvious fit, but that's just me. Let us known what you think.

Fox's Pizza Den is a Pennsylvania-based chain with locations all over the country. But its Easton franchise only lasted a few years. The sign may still be there, but the take-out joint has been vacant for a few years now. So in the second installment of our Visions for Vacancies series, we're asking you what you'd like to see in this spot. What does this block -- or the city, for that matter, need that's not there? Let us know in the comment section.

A few months ago, we wrote a story about a new sub shop on 4th Street called "Phat Joe's." Today, it's empty, gone the way of the soul food and fish and chips places that once called the building home. And now we want to know what you'd like to see in its place.  It's part of a new feature Easton Patch -- and a lot of our sister sites -- is launching called "Visions for Vacancies." So think about what you'd like to see at this storefront, at 77 N 4th St. What does the neighborhood need that's not already there? Let us know in the comments.
