Second on the list of businesses Melrose Patch readers would like to see open in 2013 was an independent bookstore.
After asking you, our readers, what business you'd like to see open in Melrose in 2013, the majority wanted to see a brew pub set up shop in the city.

Someplace where one can go and have a really decent (not gourmet) burger and beer, nothing fancy," wrote reader Steve. "A few different local microbrews ... There's even a perfect spot for it right across from the Mobil station!" Fellow reader bh75 added: "A restaurant with a decent bar serving local craft beers like Jack's Abby, Night Shift, Pretty Things, etc. Something more than just Sam Adams."

Melrose Patch is looking for the community to update our directory.
Part of Patch’s mission is to make life ridiculously easy for Melrose residents. This weekend, I ran into a problem that Melrose Patch didn’t solve yet; I need an updated list of businesses in Melrose that offer free wireless so I can schedule office hours.
