Empty Storefronts: Barrow Crossing in Bethlehem

Barrow County has plenty of empty storefronts for sale and rent, thanks to current economic conditions. Patch wants to know what you would like to see move in to these vacant properties.

I would love to see a Christian Book Store! We could have more Biblical resources available by having a Book Store that we could browse on our walks around the commerce block there in Bethlehem.

Bed, Bath, and Beyond would be awesome! Also, I'd love a Smoothie King somewhere in the area. Closest one is probably Mall of Georgia...or Grayson. Bruster's would be nice, but they won't go in a storefront.

I grew up in a Winder where doors were not locked and the town was full of folks shopping! Sometimes…Read More a moonshiner would get caught or the parking meter would run out of time and one would get a parking ticket by one of the three cops in town! Now I keep a weapon handy because of voices and footsteps on the pavement at night! Where are these people coming from and going to after one o'clock in the morning? Why does it take so long for a policeman to show up after a call is made,if they show up at all? I've watched nice homes on my street turn into dumps. They are rented by owners who are only interested in the money and not the quality of people who are renting. Yeah, I keep a weapon and it's loaded for a thief or prowler! When seconds count a cop is only several minutes away,if at all!
