Visions for Vacancies: Slack's Hoagie Shack

What would you like to see in the former hoagie shop across from Highland High School?

We learned just last week that an off-track betting parlor may be coming to Blackwood Clementon Road.

Gloucester Township officials optimistically look to the OTB parlor as a potential catalyst for economic development for one of the township's main commercial thoroughfares.

With that in mind, this latest edition of “Visions for Vacancies” asks Gloucester Township Patch's readers to share their ideas for what should replace the former Slack's Hoagie Shack at 1571 Blackwood Clementon Road in Blackwood, across from Highland High School.
