Boston Market SpotSeems nothign is going on there does any one know if they have decided on what to do with it or if it under contract or anything  katy  Jan '09 good we dont need a 2nd one there is already one in target i want a nice family owned restaurant or something diffrent katy Jan '09 heard it was starbucks, no after"heard" of denial.. is there anythign written?  Trish Jan '09 Are bookstores even a viable business at this point?  ianimal Jan '09 New. I love the store. There are a couple of leather chairs and the fireplace is always going. Good selection, nice music.  cbel Jan '09 As I've mentioned before, I don't really read books, I listen to them on CD. I never pay full price for books anymore, I order from Amazon and buy them used, like new for a fraction of the cost. I buy both books & books on CD this way.  Bessie Jan '09 The Book Loft is a new-book bookstore and is pretty good. They don't have a huge selection, but if they don't have a book they will look it up for you and have it ordered and in the store in a couple of days. No shipping, no extra cardboard packaging. And they gift-wrap for free.  Hopeful in H-town Jan '09 There used to be a used bookstore in Chester, not sure if it's still there though. Problem for me is most books are so expensive. If you're buying a best seller or something that you just want to read once, to pay $20-$25 is a lot of money for me. Now if I buy it used in good condition for $15 including shipping, it's worth it. I bought a used Barbie reference book that was $25. new, I paid $13., shipping including. Of course, you're not getting instant gratification like going to the book store, but that's ok for me. By the way, if anyone uses the Hackettstown Library for books on CD, if you haven't been there in a while, they have quite a few new books to listen to. Bessie Jan '09 You know Hackettstown is a decent sized town. We have all the usual age groups. Why is is so hard for a business to succeed? There is always lots of traffic down and around Mountain Ave and Main St. Is it the convenience factor maybe. People want easy quick access to stores or eating places.  Firefly Jan '09 It was brought up before, but the entrance/exit to the Boston Market property is dangerous. I noticed that even before I moved here. A Starbucks makes no sense here. Most of the morning traffic is moving east and traffic that comes off of 517 (with a nearly constant right turn green light) is fairly constant. Even if someone is nice enough to let you in front of them on 57 E, you are likely to get slammed by someone flying around the corner off of 517. Even turning right out of there can be dangerous.  Deep Thought Jan '09 traffic is easy to fix, ie: they could extend their driveway to connect to the building next door. The diner is doing a great business and has similar issues. I know several people who would like to see a drive thru starbucks Trish Jan '09 JustAsking, I do hear that Warren County Library has a nice selection of books on cd. Unfortunately, Hackettstown residents can't use it. We can pay to join, but not use it for free. Hackettstown Library has gotten quite a few new ones though. Bessie Jan '09 yeah whats the deal with H-town residents not being able to use the Warren County Library. That is so stupid. Correct me if Im wrong but H-town is in Warren County right?! I went to rent movies from the Htown Library and the selection was very limited. However the County Library has alot of great movies. Does anyone have an answer as to why we cant use it? The person at the County Library said because we just can't. Um is that an answer. lol  Seein the reality Jan '09 Leave a ReplyTo comment on this topic, fill out the form below.
