Exploring Issues: Carvel in Cortlandt

Carvel relocated its business from a unique old-fashioned ice cream stand to the small shopping center across the street on Westbrook Drive a few years ago.

Today, its former building sits empty and crumbling at the roundabout with the driveway chained off.  According to town officials the building housed Carvel for more than forty years.

Undoubtedly, many of you drive past that old building every day. Do you ever consider what you would like to see in that spot? Would you want it to be knocked down, restored to its original condition so something else with a nostalgic feel could move in, or rebuilt into something completely new? Restaurant? Retail? Service?

Take our poll and tell us in the comments.

For some interesting information on Carvel (did you know the owner opened his first shop in Hartsdale in 1936?) read Westchester Magazine's article from this past August,  "Fun Facts About Carvel."
