What Should Replace Tang's Donuts?

A local donut shop that recently shuttered might not be mostly rembered for its edible offerings, but for more of its weirdly contributions to Sunset Boulevard.

Tang's Donut, which also sold sandwiches and was the forum for many chess matches, at Sunset near Fountain Avenue is no longer in business.

Yelp reviewers have shared some nostalgia, including Ninja R., who wrote: "During the day, it's just a donut shop where teenagers hang out after school. By night, it's a haven for all sorts of weirdos. Hookers, pimps, crack addicts, crack dealers, chess players, hobos and hipsters. Nothing horrible really happens. Just a gathering of many varieties; chilling, sharing stories, eating donuts/sandwiches, and playing chess."

Besides the memories, all that's left is a vacant spot and a for lease sign. 

What do you think should replace Tang's Donuts? Another donut shop? Or is that intersection in need of another type of business?
