    Some good news... Editorial from the Courant. Front Street Clears Big Hurdle September 29, 2006

    Not only college kids but young professionals like myself... Hartford has some great restaurants that I don't feel the need to go to West Hartford to dine anymore, but to shop on a weekend, enjoy a cappuccino (JoJo thanks for being open Sundays!!) hopefully Front street and any retail Northland is developing can accomplish that.

    Making Hartford a music destination would have been perfect... Something to set it apart from other Northeast cities... Not only Hip Hop (which I admit I don't care for but I still think is essential to our city), but jazz clubs, rock venues, whatever, would have been a perfect compliment. Kind of a music destination, something to get people into the city... That seriously pisses me off...

    That is very similar to what is now on the table, a little over 100 rental units and 100,000 sqft restaurant/retail... This is a great location, close proximity to thousands of business people (with expendable income), close to the river, across the street from the convention center/science center, ESPN is on board with something, a ton of public funding... It perplexes me, if Trenton can get it done how is Hartford lagging so behind, with so much more potential??

    A lot of times buildings like these that start off with public money must remain rental apartments for 7 years then they can think about converting them to condos... Although Northland so far has resisted this , like the Bigelow Commons they own in Enfield... I would be right there in purchasing one as well...

    It's September and at least we aren't the only ones waiting... Rell Stamps Foot On Front Street - Deal Called Close As Deadline Nears Article from the Hartford Courant

    Those condos are amazing, nothing I could afford but amazing anyway. I'm sure something great will come out of this, I would love to be a fly on the wall inside Nitkins Offices though. Give us some idea of what will be...

    Sorry repost, missed the other page...

    Is there any hope for a large article appearing in the Courant tomorrow detailing the plans??

    Yeah, it's pretty cool, they still have the vault in place...

    It opened last Thursday.... It is bigger and better than I expected, it's unbelievable inside. They are still working on their function room and the patio outside. The name is Joe Black's...

    The bar/restaurant scene is definitely expanding, yeah you have the club area, but once you leave those bars you've got places like bin 228, Trumbull Kitchen, then the pratt street bars (the russell, sweet janes, vaughanns) with Joe Black's just opening (a definite must see, the place is amazing)... There at least 5 other restaurant/bars opening up in the next few months as well. I think Hartford has tremendous variety, you just have to know where to look..

    I just don't get it with all the positives for this site, the convention center and hotel doing great, a beautiful science center in the works, 50 million in state and city aid and they can't put a few restaurants and condos in place.... I guess that's why I'm not a developer but still...

    Hartford Courant article: Front Street Squeeze Is Applied Perez Ties Money To Commitment Can Northland come in and just build this thing already?
