Fill The Spot: 80 Broad Street

One empty spot in the neighborhood near the corner of Broad Street and Hempstead Street has found a new inhabitant, but another business nearby has packed up shop and once again left the area one space away from full occupancy.

Statewide Bail Bonds at 80 Broad Street recently put up signs notifying people that they were moving their office to Montville. It's the second time in less than a year that the bondsmen have decided to go elsewhere. Earlier this year, they spruced up the space at 80 Broad Street and moved a couple of doors down from their old location at 86 Broad Street.

This former location was featured in a February "Fill The Spot" column and got a handful of suggestions. Most people hoped to see some kind of food venue, like a cafe or small diner, although there was also a suggestion that it serve as the Green Party headquarters. Since then, a salon known as Jireh Braids has moved in.

The 80 Broad Street space is located between the Sunshine Convenience Store and The Island Touch. What would you like to see here?
