Got $1.4 Million? What Would You Put On This Spot?

Der Wienerschnitzel is long gone and the 17,800-square-foot corner lot is up for sale. What would you like to see there?

It seems like that prime corner lot has been empty a long, long time.

Once a drive-thru selling fast hot dogs and "Der Fun," according to the company's logo, the large lot at Soquel Avenue and Caledonia Street is just through.

It's listed for pocket change, if you are a billionaire. The Rittenhouse family owns it and is willing to part with it. They also have the most beautiful empty building in downtown Santa Cruz.
