HP- a bakery. We have several bakeries that are neighborhood adjacent, but a legit bakery on or around the park would kill it IMHO.

In kinda related news, I have never understood why there has been a storefront vacant on the south side of Jersey across from HP for years... anyone know the deal with that?

That vacant storefront used to be a quasi liquor store. Went there once about 15 years ago. No selection and pricey. It was an emergency. The owners just sit on the property and do nothing with it. It’s a damn shame. It would be a nice deli or bagel shop.

The owner was an old guy , he passed away. His family still owns building. I don’t know much more than that. Prime location for any bakery, bagel shop type business. Outdoor seating there would be great.
