I work in this plaza, so I'm there all the time. My Navigator is at Pep Boys, which is in this plaza also, it broke down about three (3) weeks ago in this plaza at FRIDAYS. Pep Boys is next door so I had my Truck towed to them, only because they were close. Turned out to be a great decision. I got off on the wrong foot with Larry, the man in charge. I called before I had my truck sent there to make sure they would have time to tell me what was broken. Larry said they'd be able to bring it in within the hour and tell me the damage. They got my truck at 10:50 a.m. They didn't bring it in until the next morning. LSs Larry more than made up for it. The work I got done to my truck was $5,500 out the door. Larry discounted parts and labor down to $2,400. The discount was so great I brought four (4) new tires. I let Larry choose the tire, he chose a bigger tire than the factory tire and discounted the price. I paid $649 for four (4) NEW TRUCK TIRES!!! 😊😊

The plaza also just reconstructed the curb on the southern end of the parking lot, knowing full well that bicyclists used a break in the curb there to get from the trail to the plaza smoothly. Whoever is running this plaza does not realize the potential that 140,000 trail users per year has for...

I love this plaza. And I love Hamden. But Hamden is getting too crowded. Mayor of Hamden keep bringing more busines to make more money yet inconvenience the homeowners of Hamden Tax payers Dixwell Avenue is called Million Dollars Avenue but Town of Hamden doesn't benefits from. Complex/Apartments Buildings keeps rising as the population. Hamden's face getting ugly/old/forgotten. Streets are dirty, grasses in town growing taller to my head, bulk pickups are only once a year. Mayor of Hamden is not doing a good job. Unfortunately Mayor...
