What Would You Put Here — 350 Central Ave./1301 Atwood Ave.

Longtime Johnston residents know it as "Where Allendale Insurance used-ta-be" — what do you think should go there?

From Atwood and Hartford Avenues to Killingly Street and Plainfield Pike, Johnston has its fair share of vacant buildings. Some have been empty for years while others see a rotating crop of businesses.

But, if it were up to you, what would you like to see happen to these buildings? Each week, we'll feature one empty building, lot or area in Johnston and ask our readers what they'd like to see there.
