Bunker Hill is a nice neighborhood, there are some nice neighborhoods in the east end, and there is some truly excellent food scattered throughout the city along with some gorgeous architecture (St Anne's comes to mind). There are occasionally some events worth seeing at the Palace.

Otherwise it's not on my radar. Not for healthcare, retail, or entertainment. I would rather drive to New Milford or Danbury to see a movie, you couldn't pay me to go to the ER at either of the hospitals, and the panhandling at Home Depot is both sad and scary.

Hone Depot now has private security...I haven't been there all summer but as you said, that's where people have found it the scariest. There is a homeless shelter behind the Depot which probably has something to do with it. As for the ER, I've had great experiences at St. Mary's - one of my kids is a regular there.

Cheshire-based developers Robert Roscoe and Robert Oris paid $800,000 for the property in April, according to city records. They plan to demolish the factory and put up three buildings, each around 4,000 square feet. These will be for a bank, a restaurant and a Cumberland Farms convenience store, according to the City Planning office.

Vileisis and his five-man crew are careful to sort metal, bricks and huge wooden beams that might be sold for scrap or recycled building materials. Workers could be seen pulling bolts from metal supports and tossing them in five-gallon buckets Tuesday.

"Every little nut and bolt gets picked up," Vileisis said.

The metal will go to local scrap yards, the brick to Wethersfield Building Supply. Vileisis expects to salvage 1,000 heavy beams, to be shipped to Japan by a Spanish company.
