West Roxbury's commercial district has grown and changed through the years, what business would you like to see in the neighborhood in 2013?
West Roxbury's business district is doing well, with only five storefront vacancies as of November 19 out of 200 storefront properties! In 2012 West Roxbury saw the Vietnamese sandwich shop Banh Mi Ngon join Centre Street's Restaurant Row. LeanWorks has found a home in the Shaw's Plaza. A couple steps away from LeanWorks is KokoFitClub, that allows you to come and go and do individualized workouts without needing a trainer present. And while Belgrade Place is not a business people come and go through, it definitely added its mark to the West Roxbury landscape in 2012. So what kind of businesses would you like to see come to West Roxbury in 2013? What's the neighborhood missing? Leave your comments and suggestions below.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Main Streets leaders participated in an official 'Welcome to the Neighborhood!' celebration on Saturday.
Four West Roxbury restaurants, which have quickly been embraced by tastebuds across the neighborhood, had their official ribbon cuttings on Saturday. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Department of Neighborhood Development Acting Director William Cotter joined residents and business owners to celebrate four new restaurants that opened with help from the City of Boston's Office of Business Development and West Roxbury Main Streets: Los Amigos, Red-Eyed Pig, Banh Mi Ngon, and LeanWorks. These new (and delicious) businesses were able to create more than 30 new jobs in West Roxbury, according to city officials.
