Retail News

This is supposed to be about retail and as usual it goes off on a tangent. What comes first the chicken or the egg?
Well, If you put in the retail and no customers then the business will not survive.
So we need to provide a transportation hub and plenty of affordable high quality housing. Condos and renovated existing houses (brownstones near Go Station) and these older solid homes will stand the test of time. So if they get filled then people need to eat and work on their homes. (Canadian Tire, Home hardware, Sobeys or a independent Foodland)
I can't for the life of me see a casino. We need permanent residents. This is Hamilton not vegas.
Want to gamble go to Brantford, Flamborough or Niagara. We want this to be a family destination and visit our bay.
Talk about waste we have a $80 million reno on the court house that is used from 9-5. Maybe if we have high end condos the lawyers will buy and walk to work.
So sorry Mark a casino is a hard sell and may be a waste of your time. I opt for anything that gets people living downtown.
They are building a new primary school at Charleton and Walnut. Kids means families.
Hey.
I heard a great one yesterday on CHML.
We need an arena for the upcoming games. Sooooooooooooooo
bull doze City Hall and put it there at the Bus Hub, Go station and plenty of hotels. have giant tailgate parties on the upper deck at Jackson Sq.
Plenty of parking already for the M-F crowd. The underground at JS and Hamilton place, Farmers market. Sure beat some guys lawn on Balsam.
Just think a multi sports entertainment square (Copps, Hamilton place, CFL Hall of Fame). Hockey and football together.
Also a quick and easy exit off the 403.
City Hall to stay in City Centre and City Hall as a Stadium.
Maybe when we get back on track build a City Hall on some Brown field near the Waterfront.
