To the Editor:
This past weekend, Top Notch, a new and exciting restaurant opened on Main St. in Medford.
This establishment is one of the many new businesses that have recently opened or plan to open in this once “left for dead” commercial zone. The new owner has invested significant capital in turning a run down, used restaurant space, into a cool spot with great ambiance.
Although I only met the owner once, (during the Dickens Festival) it was obvious to me his enthusiasm and passion for this new venture is immeasurable. My hope is that Top Notch is the beginning of a much needed and anticipated restaurant renaissance on Main Street.
Everyone wishes our Main St had more to offer. This is a chance for the community to support a local business and help turn the revival of Main St. into a reality instead of a pipe dream. One has to look no further than Collingswood to see what a few good restaurants can do to create a vibrant downtown.
So next time you are thinking about where to eat or get take out, give Top Notch a try.
I think anyone that has invested in Medford the way Top Notch has deserves to be supported. Spread the word to your friends in neighboring towns and help revive Main St. one business at a time.
