A Downtown Surprise

What a surprise to see this alley between East Front Street and Municipal Parking Lot 6 being refurbished with landscaping and new paving!

Originally constructed many years ago by Queen City Savings, the "Queen's Courtyard" suffered a decline and then in 2012 a major blow in Hurricane Sandy. See photos of the storm damage here.

I hope to get photos of the finished project later and more details on it from city officials, but I just wanted to share this glimpse.

  1. Once upon a time the fable was that the streets of America were paved with gold. Today's reality is that today they are paved with wads of chewing gum.

  2. Nice that this administration cares about the way this city looks, sans city council.
