I think this would be a great setting for a driving school. The parking lot is big and there's more than enough space for classrooms. There could be other educational components incorporated, too -- job training, etc.

Hi Leslie, As far as that is concerned, a school would be good there. A vocational, college or professional school. There is an aeronautical school where Harry's was on Satellite Blvd

Thanks for commenting, Bruce. I'm not certain, but I think a problem that area has is, there's not too much going on around it commercially. There's DeShong Park, which is gorgeous, but I'm not sure what else would drive traffic that way.

urban farm.

chicago is taking old parking lot - putting 4" of soil right on top and growing crops.
the children in the area tend to it.

Lucas- What a fantastic idea! Everyone benefits.

Here is a link of a smaller example.

I thought about two things for this facility every time I drove passed it. (1) An event facility that's all in one since it is such a big building or (2) Planet Fitness.

international farmers market, look at the one on ponce, nothing really going on there commercially and it's thriving, worth a shot better than empty building eyesore

Bottom line, if the people in Black Mountain, North Carolina put a little money into the property it would still be an Ingles or better. The confluence of traffic that heads towards Snellville/Lilburn, Centerville/Loganville, Lithonia/Stone Mtn. and I-20/Stone Crest assures that enough traffic passes the location. I say build it and they will stop. Now it would be up to the merchants to have a decent offering. No redundancy of barber/weave shops, Jamaican restaurants or liquor stores needed to ensure a successful shopping center.
