Drive around Stoughton and you'll notice a number of empty storefronts and buildings.

We're continuing a new series titled "." We'll showcase an empty storefront and ask you what should take up the space.

Last week we asked what you would like to see done with the in the downtown.

This week, we turn our attention to the old Family Dollar store location at 605 Washington St. (adjacent to the and behind the Citizens Bank Plaza).

Family Dollar didn't leave town - in the space formerly occupied by the Royal Buffet Chinese Restaurant and Kidsports.

But what would you like seen done with its former storefront left vacant as a result of the February 2012 move?

Keep it as retail space? Open another bargain/discount store? Turn it into a restaurant, diner or coffee shop? Use it as office space?
