New Uses for a Downtown Building

Something new at Park & Second. Multiple uses for this storefront. A Boys & Girls Club bike resale shop and other activities, a food pantry, various social services and even church services?

It gives the Boys & Girls Club more visibility and the bikes are very attractive,

In the 1980s that corner was known as Financial Plaza and an investment broker had his office in that building. He used to contribute a financial advice column to the weekly newspaper Plainfield Today, which was based nearby on North Avenue.

    Wonderful organizations/programs, however, not a very inspiring sign of what will be occupying retail spaces downtown. Yet, another storefront church? UGH!

    Not to be negative..but I don't see the positive in this at all..another throw it together/no long-term plan/storefront churches and food pantry's...sure, that is exactly the downtown area I want to visit...what is wrong with us? Fill space at any cost?

    WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO START A NEW BAPTIST CHURCH WHEN THERE ARE SEVERAL WELL ESTABLISHED IN PLAINFIELD? DOES THIS ONE OFFER A DIFFERENT THEOLOGY?
