What would YOU like to see in South Newton?

Just thinking about  some of the established businesses that would be welcomed with open arms into South Newton....
 Shopped at Kin's Farm Market yesterday but had to drive way across town. I'd love to see them set up a location in the neighbourhood.
What would be some of your picks? Let ReNewton ( and them) know!

The 7093 King George Blvd. property has had a long and troubled history. In 2009, Boardwalk Gaming promised a $25-million investment that would see a revitalized mall and community policing station in exchange for a lucrative zoning change that would allow slot machines at Newton Square  Bingo Country. The rezoning was in violation of Surrey’s existing gaming policy, but it passed on a five-to-four vote. Despite questionable politics,Newton Casino Plans go ahead

Where have we heard this before??

So the city is now going to focus on Newton. Bravo.  We are all waiting to see what happens and when. Have heard this all before and seen the pretty pictures with the canopies yada yada. Forgive  the cynicism. It’s just that we have ALL  been waiting for this for far too long.

Stay tuned… and keep those fingers crossed.

Save it or Scrap it???

 There’s talk  lately about how many of you in the neighbourhood  HATE, really hate, this building.  The problem is that if this thing were torn down, the new owner would not be able to build a similar sized structure on the property as the creek setbacks have changed.   So…. is a bigger building necessarily  a better building?   People are saying that they associate this structure with decline and decay and would rather see it scrapped. As an owner it’s a tough call. I think I might be inclined to  junk the whole thing and start with a fresh clean slate, and apparently you do too.
