Visions For Vacancies: What Should Move to Millburn Avenue in Short Hills?

Let us know what you think should fill the vacant storefront next to the once Sun Glo Spa at 513 Millburn Ave.

Let's call this a modern spin on community planning — Patch's version of a charette, a digital drawing board where all ideas are on the table.
