VISIONS FOR VACANCY: What Should Replace Rudermans?

The big box building has been empty since the antique co-op left late last year. What would you like to see in that space?

Sure, we walk past empty storefronts in Malden all the time - but do you ever wonder what could take their places? 

Each week, Patch will feature a different vacant storefront in the city, and ask for your ideas.

This week's vacancy is Rudermans, the furniture shop nee antique co-op nee vacancy at 42 Ferry Street. Since the furniture left, there have been plenty of suggestions for usage, including some talk that the space could become a new city hall.
