Still Not Open
I went to a briefing on the BsB two weeks ago.
The sales guy said it would open by today (9/19).
Fraid not. |

We've had a few vacancies in the Trenton Lofts
apartments and by now several of you have gone
through them. It looks like 324 S. Broad is rented. 6
Peace #1 has been fixed up and is ready to go.
The tenant in 6 Peace #2 has moved out and we've got some work to do. If you're interested, you'll need to imagine new carpet and fresh paint. 8 Peace #2 will hopefully be ready soon but I don't think it will need a lot of work.
Complicating all this is that our realtor, John Lamb, is
on his annual month-long trip to Denmark. He's on
email though and has back-up.

The Administration Strikes Back
If you're a long time Trenton Lofts reader, you know
that
development projects sometimes go nowhere in
Trenton. Our most famous, "stuck in the mud" project
is the Trenton Town Center project which includes
the Bell Telephone Building. It's going nowhere as
have many other large projects over the years.
Finally, one of our more thoughtful civic activists, Zac Chester, decided to start asking questions about the failed projects. Specifically, he asked about former Economic Development Director and current Assistant Business Administrator Dennis Gonzalez's role.
You might think this is innocent enough, but what
happened next was simply startling. Gonzalez
threatened citizen Chester with a lawsuit and with the
Mayor's blessing. Essentially, the public official is
threatening the citizen for asking questions about
Trenton's economic development activities, or lack
thereof. Wow!
Here are the Trenton Times Article on the issue and my Letter to the Editor. Trenton Times Article My Letter to the Editor Here's the missingmayor.com article on those big projects. |

Here's an update on the Golden Swan from John
Hatch, the architect on the project.
There will be three apartments available (the fourth space is already leased). They range in size from: Apt 1. 1,412 sf, three bedrooms; Apt 2. 731 sf, one bedroom; Apt 3. 1003 sf, one bedroom. They are each two stories with a double height space, cool dormer windows and a lot of character (exposed beams, some exposed brick, etc.).
Here's a recent article on The Golden Swan from the
Trenton Times: |

Perhaps one of Trenton's most unique locations is the
449 Room at 449 S. Broad St. They've got rock on
Sundays, "Open Mic" on Mondays, poker nights, and
various bands. 449 Room is a music venue, but it's
attached to the Greenlight Restaurant, a vegetarian
restaurant which also has a bar. The whole complex
is next door to the Conduit and across the street from
the Sovereign Bank Arena.
If you're a music fan, this is one of those funky little spots that you find in cities but not in suburbs.

People considering a move to Trenton should get the
full picture. There is a spiritual side to the Capitol City
as evidenced by our friends Ayala Shimelman and
Siri Om Singh. You can join Yogi Siri Om for
"Meditation Mondays" at The Bhakti House of
Devotion in the lovely Glen Afton section of Trenton.
