Tell us in the comments sections below.

For this week’s Visions for Vacancies, we are at the site of the former Varney Printing shop.

According to city records, the business was taken over the city after the print shop failed to pay its taxes. It opened in 1940.

• Two parking spaces are included in the site, but other parking is available on the street.
• It is also accessible by MBTA bus and sits in the downtown part of Waltham, near other stores.
