Patch wants to hear from residents of Narberth, Bala Cynwyd and beyond: What should fill the retail vacancies of your neighborhood streets?
Today, we're spotlighting the former home of Annie Sez, on Montgomery Avenue in Penn Valley.
The women's clothing store closed in late February; no business has replaced it. Signs in the window invite interested tenants to call Colliers International at 215-925-4600.
The property at 925 Montgomery Ave. most recently sold in June 2004 for $2,650,000 and is tax-assessed at $1,126,640, according to county records. The 10,440-square-foot building was erected in 1955.
So tell us in the comments section below: What kind of business would you be most likely to frequent if it moved in? (In February, the most popular answer from Patch readers was "bookstore".) And what other vacancies in town do you have ideas about filling?

I like the restaurant idea and pub. As much as I would love a bookstore, lets face it, the proprietors would be shutting their doors because people would rather browse to kill time rather than buy a book to read. I think the wifi and free browsing killed Borders. 80% of the patrons were hanging out in the cafe reading store books like it was a library or just using the internet.
