I live 5 minutes from the hospital and in all my life I have never seen somthing more beautiful in my whole entire 14 years of my life. I mean I've seen it from the outside, and my dad and i have drove throught it, but i have never seen the inside this is awesome
You say that the Utopia deal fell through "thankfully." Hmm.
Hi, I grew up about a mile down the road. The most magical woods I've ever known are the woods around its edges where little bits of buildings and the old trolley road pop up. I've had some of my most freakin' precious memories out there.
That said, the casinos do not suit the economic needs of the Norwich area. That money goes to the state and is generally reallocated to other areas like Hartford, not where the schools and roads actually need to account for the population influx. Please be more understanding of the municipal view upon these potential development projects. As they crash, those buildings keep standing there, mostly unused and demanding upkeep. Extensive environmental damage also lies underneath and within those buildings and extensive bills for clean-up. Constructing a museum from the place is not as simple as opening up the doors, painting a few walls, and setting up staff.
There is beauty and sentiment in the decay, and I know it well, but development isn't just about greed. I have a really strong and personal attachment to the place, but I also know how much it sucks to go the schools (before NFA), have a downtown that apparently can't even support the one coffee shop that finally opened up, or support small businesses that would serve as alternatives to the big corporations so many of you claim to hate.
Have been looking at this site for awhile,Motts fantastic pictures. Commets make the site all the more enjoyable. Except the last few from whitehawk, love the running soap dispenser joke.
