Up To You: Tiogue Ave. Subway

If it were up to you, what would become of the vacant sandwich shop?

 

All across town, Coventry has its fair share of vacant buildings. Some have been empty for years while others see a rotating crop of businesses.

But, if it were up to you, what would you like to see happen to these buildings? We'll feature one empty building, lot or area in Coventry and ask our readers what they'd like to see there.

A bowling alley? A clothing store? A Japanese restaurant? A movie theater? What do you want?

This week: Everyone remembers when the only Subway in town was located at the intersection of Tiogue Ave., Arnold Rd., and Sandy Bottom Rd.

Sure, the sandwiches were good and way back when, "$5 footlongs" would have been scoffed at by fans of "$2.99 Tuesday", however getting in and out of the precariously positioned lot could take forever!

Since the shop was closed, two more Subways have opened in Coventry and this location sits vacant, with ripped Tyvec hanging off the outside walls.

The intersection has only gotten busier, so what do you think should be done with the building and/or property to make it successful once again OR, do you think a demolition and some new landscaping would be best?
