Magnolia's Vineyard Restaurant is closed and the interior is vacant. It's also thought to be haunted by a 'friendly' ghost.
Magnolia’s Vineyard Restaurant, located at 2204 Village Road where it intersects with Huckleberry Road, is a historic building that has been used as an inn and restaurant since the 1800s. It's also thought to be haunted by a good-natured ghost named Magnolia Evans, whose family once owned the building.

What business would you like to see in the former TCBY location in Village West off Tilghman Street?
TCBY, a frozen yogurt shop that didn't make it long enough to enjoy the resurgence of yogurt shops across the Valley, closed about two years ago. An employee at For Eyes Optical, located next door to the vacant store, said she hasn't seen any progress since TCBY closed.

The strip mall experienced some redevelopment this summer when Patient First opened where the former Blockbuster Video once was.
