City Market Still Needs New Business

The former Sherburne Street Market once provided this neighborhood with a place where city residents could pick up some milk, bread or a sandwich at lunch time, but it has remained closed for several months with no apparent takers.

When we first highlighted this property, its prospects for finding a new owner didn't look particularly good. Here is what we wrote on Sept. 20:

Sherburne Street residents say the former Sherburne Street Market located close to the Robert J. Lister Academy has been closed for years.

When it was open, it served as a convenient neighborhood market that provided basic groceries, coffee and deli sandwiches. Now it is a haven for rabbits and woodchucks and the building has fallen into a great deal of disrepair.

What do you think would make a good use for this property? Would another neighborhood market be the best way to utilize the site or should some other business be a better fit? Let us know.
