What Should Replace Bay Road Real Estate Office?

There's an empty storefront along Bay Road in Hamilton - what should go there?

An empty storefront along Bay Road in South Hamilton is looking for a new use - what should go there? The space at 28 Bay Road in downtown Hamilton was most recently home to Country Crossroads Realty, which opened in 2011. After it closed, owner Amy Job next door at Jolie Tea Co. was examining the option of expanding to create a cafe to serve tea and pastries. But that idea wasn't able to become a reality when it was disocvered the septic system for the building was not able to handle a food service business. Job said she is looking at other locations. Before Country Crossroads, the space was home to Taylor Danielle Spa, which moved across the street to the Shoppes at Hamilton Crossing in 2010. It's recently been home to a spa and a real …

A tea shop in downtown Hamilton that opened two years now has plans to expand by adding seating and serving tea and pastries.

Jewelry Store, Barbershop Possible Reuses for 'Clipper Cottage' Building

The retail space on Railroad Avenue in downtown Hamilton formerly occupied by Clipper Cottage is empty and for sale.

The building that formerly was home to Clipper Cottage is for sale. The real estate agent handling the sale says there's already been some interest in the 1-1/2 story building at 59 Railroad Ave. Inquiries have come from people interested in opening a jewelry store, barber shop or "shake station." "It's a nice little building," said real estate agent Pam Mavroules. "It's a great downtown location." According to the real estate listing, it would also be a good location for a salon or candle store. It is priced at $259,000. Mavroules said it would be a great location to start a small business. It is located between the South Hamilton Post Office and Hamilton Dentistry. The building has its own septic system that was installed in 2002 and has…
