As reader Kevin pointed out in his comment the other day, renovations began last month on two storefronts along Main Street.
Plans for the renovations first were presented to the Redevelopment Agency and Planning Board last year, as reported by Rahway Rising. In addition to new signage, lights and facade, vacant office space on the second and third floors will be transformed into two, two-bedrooms apartments.
Hopefully this means getting rid of the cheesy — and probably illegal — “open” sign that hangs in the window of the Chinese takeout joint. (Apologies for lack of a photo on that.)

Renovating those old storefronts is a great way to help the downtown. I love it!
I agree, so many of the old buildings in town have such great character that you don't see today with new buildings,(all the brickwork, pediments.etc.)Its also nice to see some progress downtown. Somebody has some money.
