Very simple- bring back TRADER JOES.

A yarn shop.

Marijuana dispensary. All the other towns are so quick to ban them - why don't WE get a piece of that action; why don't WE something unique for a change; why don't WE have a reason to stop here instead of just drive through. Have a full time detail cop as part of the deal. What is everyone so afraid of?

How about a popular store like Bath and Bodyworks or American Eagle or Pink? Anyone of those would bring in customers.

A BBQ place! There's a serious lack of BBQ places on the North Shore.

a unique tea shoppe - a unique toy shoppe - a unique italiano cafe - a unique clay studio (pottery etc) - anything but the unique pot palace to put this town on the map

Before we are so quick to put someone in there...we need to address other vacant spaces. Why has the General Glover been vacant for 15+ years? Anyone really believe that City Grill is under renovations? That being said...a nice butchery would be welcome...and I think a pot shop is a GREAT idea Whisky!

I believe the Glover is still vacant because it's still owned by the Athanoses who, for whatever reason, don't wish to sell it.

Sand bag store

is a sand bag store anything like a dime bag store? PLEEZ, I'M GETTING SOAKED DOWN HERE!

Dave-I know where you can get the sand for free but you have to byob (bring your own bags)....and before Whisky tells ya - there is nothing unique about sand in this town :D
