A record store with new and used music would be cool and I think that it could be successful. I would like to see a couple of additional businesses on the square: More quality restaurants so you don?t have to drive to Merrillville, Additional Movie Screens that have more then 1 show time, a clothing store that sells cool hip clothes?
I would like to see the square become a little more "eclectic Chicago neighborhood like" and a little less "country bumpkin". Fortunately this seems to be the trend with the Registry Club, Lucrezia Italian Restaurant, Pop Culture Coffee Shop, and Vanis Salon and Day Spa. I hope this trend continues and I believe that it will based upon the success of the new businesses that have adhered to this formula.
