This vacant building at 51 Needham Rd. next to Hollywood Hits and visible from Route 128 used to be home to a sports club, but that was about six years ago. Turner's Seafood of Gloucester was eyeing the property as recently as last May and planning to make extensive renovations to open up another of its seafood restaurants (similar to the one in Melrose), but those plans are now dead in the water, so to speak. Highway motorists today can clearly see the "For Lease" signs around the site. The Turners made it clear from the start they needed a full liquor license in order to go through with …

It was more than three years ago that Tequila's, the bar and restaurant on Route 1, shut down. The building, next to Home Depot at the Route 114 westbound off ramp, has been empty since then. About a year ago, a few Danvers Patch readers suggested that another restaurant use would be ideal for the location, including either a brew pub or a Cracker Barrel - a southern-themed restaurant and country store. But the building remains vacant and on the market to this day. A former listing by Colliers International said that the property would be perfect for a restaurant, but also for a bank or other…

It is part of a 5,038 square foot office building that was built in 1970 and is owned by High Street Realty LLC. So what do you think should go there? Let us know in the …

Tequila's Restaurant closed its doors in June 2009, and the 80 Newbury St. location is still vacant. In May 2011, the Danvers Board of Selectmen revoked the all-alcoholic license Tequila's held. When Tequila’s filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and defaulted on a loan from the bank, Danversbank had since been working on finding a license buyer. Their license was later one of the three granted to downtown establishments this past summer. Now, just for fun, we want you to tell us what you think should go there. If you had the funds and power to place any new business in the location, what would it be…

Now, just for fun, we want you to tell us what you think should go there. If you had the funds and power to place any new business in the location, what would …

Now that Bed Bath and Beyond has moved across Endicott Street, the Liberty Tree Mall has a large vacant spot in between Kohl's and Buffalo Wild Wings that hasn't been decided on yet.  With the Liberty Tree Mall steps from tons of other businesses on Route 114 and at the North Shore Mall, we're not sure what gem we are missing that would be perfect for this vacant spot.
