Possible use for two empty buildings by the casino in Salinas, California posted by Ruth Paget
-souvenir shop selling puréed vegetable soup from Monterey County organic vegetables - locals and tourists alike can buy these - a French strategy for selling regional products
-day old bread could be sold here from the town’s many bakeries to centralize a pick-up spot for this item that can be used to make bread crumbs for gratins or whole to make strata casseroles as well. This would free up space in bakeries for new products. Ready made, frozen strata could be sold and thermal bags for tourists who drive.
Both buildings have small parking lots for limited time parking. A garage is across the street.
Just some economic development thoughts.
