Open a huge airsoft and paintball arena or a big ice cream shop that would be so cool a huge ice cream shop

open a arcade

seriously though level the building and turn it into a parking lot please, and do the same with the abandoned movie theater.

B&N- they're going bankrupt, so if they opened up a store in that spot it would just be vacant again in a year or two
old navy/gap- theres an old navy in hempstead, and a gap in oceanside. corporate wouldn't want to open a store in rvc because it would be less business for the other stores and they would lose money in the end.
restaurant/bar- we've already got plenty of them
apple store- theres already 3 on long island, and rvc doesn't have enough parking to handle the amount of traffic an apple store would bring.

If you're concerned about parking for the apple store, imagine an all-night music venue the size of the abandoned movie theater. The town can barely handle the visitors it has now, figure that out before you open a major corporate store.

Harmon Drug! Seriously, what happend to the one on Merrick Rd.? Prices and selection were much better than CVS, Rite-Aid or Walgreen's.

It should be turned into a gym, with a nail salon and bar inside. Because that's what we need. Oh maybe also a small Church that also sells pizza??!

Anything that will provide jobs to our village residents. An Apple Store, maybe an organic produce market,

I would suggest an Express or some clothing store that's not a boutique and/or only sell womans clothes.

a lazer tag arena?

EK I can't tell if you are being serious or not but please leave the patch to those of us who really care about the community...

Whole Foods! There is no place in town to buy organic beef unless you go to Fairway in Douglaston or Whole Foods on the north shore.

How about a pottery making studio?

We could definitely use another nail salon.

knock the place down, build a ballpark, something for the KIDS for once!

build a new bus depot

I wish LI's best indie bookstore, Book Revue, in Huntington would open a branch in that space. That would be awesome; with that lousy Chapter One bookshop in Oceanside now kaput, there's no bookstores for miles. The area is really under-served in that respect; RVC would make a great central location for a destination shop/cafe like that, sitting as it does between so many towns that lack anything more intellectually stimulating that, um, Cabo.

To Frank - agree on all points. An indoor farmers' market would be great. On another note - have you thought about running for office?

target please

For sc - actually wild by nature does NOT sell organic beef. They do sell organic chicken and turkey and pork but not beef. Their beef is "all natural" which is corn fed and most likely with GMO corn and who knows what else. All natural is a far cry from organic. It is funny because they have signs in the store that says all their beef comes from the US...which does nothing to make me feel confident about buying it. US beef is banned by the EU which should tell you something.

Another Harmon! I miss Harmon!!! :(

Guys you're all dumb I just talked to Mayor Murray and the other Murrays that were also used to be mayor they said it's gonna be a ballpark.

Obviously the ballpark idea is the forerunner. It just makes the most SENSE in that location. Other good ideas include an organ store as Frank suggested, another Parrots of the World, a arcade, and roller skating rink. DUH.

DEFINITELY another Parrots of the World. Except this one could be focused on breeding turtles and finding suitable homes/families for them.

How about a go-karting place?

Trader Joes

How about an Open Your Own Franchise store that could sell worthless franchise opportunities to all those who can’t find jobs. Then after a year they could convert it into a How to Declare Bankruptcy store.

Knock it down for a muni parking lot the only sensible option

that's all anyone seems to care about, muni, muni, muni! Do something for the good of the PEOPLE for once!

We need a State Of The Art SUBSTANCE ABUSE REHAB AND RE-ENTRY Centre!!

How about a downtown transit-oriented housing development.

@ Guillermo. Why not a section 8 housing development? that way we can get some grant money to add a parking structure.

Hell, turn the whole town section 8 and let the money come from somewhere else.

Horatio. I'm a business owner in Rockville centre and I have connections with all restaurants and bars in this town. I also help organize the at Patricks day parade. You the one that wants a pottery studio. I'm the one who knows what our amazing town doesn't have. I know what would generate the most revenue you for the town and for those two buildings. I'm speaking for my employees and my friends at other establishments around town when I say we don't want guides coming in. They cause problems and usually end up arrested when the start fight at mcfaddens. What will generate revenue in both locations isn't a stupid pottery studio. An adult themed location such as a bar/theatre or a bar/club would generate the most cash flow for these locations. Since rvc has a ton of children, one of these building could be geared toward the youth... such as a paintball facility, or a fun zone esq arcade. I'm not saying my suggestions will ever happen. I'm just guarenteeing they could be huge cash cows in our town

John j fox sr. Instead of rehab center. Medical marijuana dispensary

That one was a joke

RVC is a family oriented community and most families have more than 1 child. Other than the rec center, there is not much to offer on the south shore for indoor play. I suggest a venue similar to Once Upon a tree top in Plainview. Its a place for kids to play indoors, classes, birthday party destination, babysitting (for parents to go have dinner and a movie), even add in something for the older kids like lazer tag. The closest place is LePLay Cafe in Bellmore and even that is limited.

I would be happy to open a destination like this in one of the vacant locations but mayor would have to help me with financing :)
