The wine store chose a building in a location which was not good for heavy traffic. This has been obvious since it opened. There are other unused or less used areas in Hampden which could be made more commercial, as was the case in the village's past. Spreading out some should be the answer, not demolition just to be in the present hot spot. Along Falls Rd, there are many junky buildings and even an empty lot which has a chain link fence around it. If Hampden were in Arlington County VA, these crappy buildings would be bought as tear-downs. I am usually never in favor of demolition as an answer, but there are many areas of the city where cheap fast commercial buildings were thrown up and were never great. Harford Rd, Belair Rd, Pulaski Highway, and Eastern Ave/Blvd are 4 such crappy looking stretches which have many junk buildings which should be thinned out.

I wish they’d tear down the McDonalds on Falls Road and replace it with something beneficial. They steal credit cards and it leads to so much trash in the area. People throw entire fast food bags and food out the window on Buena Vista regularly. It makes me so angry.
