What Should Replace Walgreens?

Patch wants to hear your ideas for filling Parsippany's vacant business buildings.

The recent move of Walgreens Pharmacy to the Baldwin Plaza Shopping Center gave the township a revitalized, bright and busy "new" drug store. It also left Parsippany with a big, empty space at 1470 Route 46 in Troy Hills Village, the old Walgreens digs.

What do you think would work for Payless' former space? Tell us what you would like to see in the comments. We will take your suggestions and pass them along to the town's economic development chief, Mayor James Barberio.   Let Patch save you time. Get local stories like …
