We all know that as the coronavirus pandemic subsides, this summer will be a crazy summer-as everyone gets rid of quarantine and starts to spend all our savings from staying at home for a year, depressive energy will explode .
In fact, the mystics behind us at the summer solstice are already interfering.
I predict that this fall will bring a new round of liquidation among the locals in Groton and Stonington, discussing how to solve the deteriorating problems of parking, traffic and crowd control in Mystic.
The old infrastructure is not established. Groton continues to allow more restaurants to open without an overall parking solution.
However, the pressure relief valve exploded by the mysterious crowd could be a powerful and easy-to-manage dining and entertainment option 10 miles off the eastern coast of Connecticut.
I am happy to say that New London, the city’s capital of the coastline region, has unexpectedly withstood the pandemic. Many popular downtown restaurants have survived, some of which have large new outdoor decks overlooking the waterfront.
New London also announced the first phase of its evolving waterfront park strategy: a restaurant and bar, plans to provide daily live music on a large concrete pier on the water, now lined with rubber fenders and ladders, and a Magnets for ships.
City Dock has been in production for about three years. It is quite large. It is a set of containers that are made into a kitchen and a bar, surrounded by a large number of tables and a high ceiling under the tent. The big palm trees planted in flowerpots grow in every corner, now swaying in the breeze of the harbor.
I had lunch there this week and it was very busy even on cloudy days. As you can tell from the enthusiastic compliments of the diners to the staff, this place will be a huge hit.
Most importantly, it is like a summer mirage. In the fall, they will tear down all this and let the wharf return to its original condition in the winter.
City Dock has withstood some controversies, including other downtown businesses complaining about competing with intruders who did not make the same promise to the city as the owners or tenants of buildings throughout the year.
However, I think that the excitement of City Dock will create a lot of spillover effects for other downtown companies, and a rising wave will lift them all.
You can already see more cruise ships in that corner of the port. The rental mooring facility supported by Mayor Michael Passero many years ago has been empty summer after summer and is finally ready to usher in a busy season of use.
The Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection initially tried to block the city’s wharf, saying it was not dependent on the park’s water use.
I know. I know. DEEP is opposed to seaside restaurants, and it is eager to allow the filling of several acres of the New London Port to accommodate the assembly of wind turbines. However, such a wealth of utility companies can charge us more electricity bills, which are generated by offshore farms. Who cares if it will damage the fish ecosystem?
I thank the Mayor of Passero for humiliating DEEP and finally allowing the restaurant. The final conclusion is that accommodating ships for lashing does turn the city dock into a water-dependent use.
The restaurant advertised that it has line handlers on standby to help rowing customers tie knots.
For those who come by land, you can park in the city center, but you need to walk some distance. I think people will make a lot of effort.
This brand new large building is scattered all over the water, there are palm trees, music and a lot of food and wine, as well as a vast landscape of historical landmarks and many moving boats, ships, ferries and trains, which are different from you and found in the mystery.
