For me, losing this old nondescript wood-frame building from that corner and replacing it with something modern is a great leap forward for SGR.

+1.
Here is the CH story from today:

Not to rag on Winsby's, because it is a nice small business that has done well for itself on that corner, but whenever a shop closes down on SGR or Barrington, someone is inevitably quoted as calling it the loss of a "flagship" or "destination shop".
Really?
In any case, yes: that property/prime corner, can be much better utilized, with a new mixed use building, that can attract a new business with a more attractive space.
