We're Taking a Vote on Guitar Center Question

We received such a wide range of suggestions for what to do with the former Guitar Center that we're trying a poll to see if clusters of consensus emerge. We hope you'll cast a vote.

Editor's note, May 22, 2:45 p.m.: A technical glitch blocked the poll from being attached to this article when it was first published. It's now attached below. We apologize to our readers.

Last week we asked our readers what they'd building at 10300 San Pablo Ave., and we have received so many suggestions of such variety that we're not sure how to interpret them.

Perhaps the most popular choice in comments on the article and on our Facebook page was a gym or fitness center of some type. A number of people liked the idea of a live-music venue, perhaps with a space for art and a cafe. Others wanted to see a grocery, while several other retail possibilities – notably a Fry's Electronics – were proposed.

So we thought it might help to consolidate the suggestions into general categories and pose the question again in the form of a reader poll, in hopes of determining whether areas of consensus might emerge. We hope that those readers who offered suggestions in the first round will cast their votes in the poll below, and we hope additional readers add their feedback too. And we welcome further comments too.
