Great news that Front Street is moving forward. Front Street is critical to the city's redevelopment. All these conventioneers need places to eat and shop. ESPN will open some sort of attraction, and sources close to the talks say there are some good retailers on board. The apartments will be similar to something that opened in Stamford last year. http://www.highgrovestamford.com/ Same architect has already been hired.

People are signing up to open shops in plenty of places, but seem reluctant about Hartford. Some developers have said the city is hard to deal with. It might be time for a change at city hall. What has the current administration done for development? 1. Lost Mass Mutual to Enfield 2. Lost ING to Windsor 3. Lost WFSB to Rocky Hill 4. Lost conventions because of union stance 5. City seems to be obstacle to Front Street 6. Can't attract developers to build on surface parking lots 7. Criticized Governor Rell and the state gov't which has invested a billion downtown We need a Giuliani type of mayor who will get things done.

Channel 3 reported that it was Bliss Market.

Grand Opening is tonight!

Heard there was a breakthrough today at City Hall. Some sort of announcement, and it will be positive, will be made on Friday.

Sources are saying the Front Street condominiums and shops will be spectacular, "like nothing Hartford has seen before." They will be designed by famous architect from Yale, Robert Stern and will resemble his most recent Connecticut project, Highgrove in Stamford. http://www.highgrovestamford.com/ If the state can keep the mayor and the unions at bay, Front Street will finally get going.

I think they need to change the way they market Bradley. 1. Change the name to Hartford International Airport or Bradley Field at Hartford International Airport. 2. Put a welcome to Hartford or welcome to Connecticut sign to welcome travelers. 3. Drop the Springfield reference on the flights. This would help appeal more to the densely populated Fairfield and New Haven counties which still has too many people using NYC airports. It would also help CT tourism

I also noticed a group of guys 4-5 of them, with blueprints looking walking the site the other day

This is not a done deal yet.

Is this is the info you are talking about? EWR-AMS Operate "2" each day DTW-AMS DTW-SNN DTW-DUB DTW-MAN DTW-BHX DTW-BRU AMS-BDL 10 A/C will get winglets/ETOPS 5635 5636 5637 5638 5644 5645 5646 5647 5648 5649 They are going to start putting on winglets DEC06. The first PAX flight MAR07.

All I saw was the cryptic list of flight routes. I thought there was an article on flights to Amsterdam.

I still can't find the article.

I couldn't find the article....Hartford to Amsterdam?
