  • Waterbury’s Clock Tower Building Is For Sale Again ($4.95M)

    Waterbury’s Clock Tower Building Is For Sale Again ($4.95M)

    One of the most recognizable buildings in Connecticut is up for grabs again. The old Waterbury train station, with its 240-foot clock tower, is back on the market at $4.95 million.

    If you’ve driven I-84 through the Brass City, you know the tower. For decades the building was also home to the Republican-American newspaper, so it’s woven into Waterbury’s story in more ways than one.

    Why the timing is interesting

    Meanwhile, the state is putting $35 million into Union Station right next door. Big public investment next to a landmark that’s for sale is the kind of thing that gets developers paying attention.

    The property sits at 389 Meadow Street in Waterbury.

    So what should go in there?

    Food hall? Rooftop bar? Lofts? All three? A building like this could be a destination for the whole region if the right plan comes together.

    Drop your idea in the comments on the video. Best ones might end up in a follow-up.

  • Waterbury Is the Most Underrated City in CT (Fight Me)

    Waterbury Is the Most Underrated City in CT (Fight Me)

    Waterbury gets trashed more than any city in Connecticut. I live right next door in Prospect, and I’m saying it: Waterbury is underrated.

    The case for Waterbury

    More house for your money. Compared with the towns around it, Waterbury often gets you more space or a lower entry point into owning a home.

    You can get anywhere. I-84 and Route 8 meet right downtown, so Hartford, Danbury, New Haven and the shoreline are all within reach.

    The food speaks for itself. Grinders, Italian, and some of the most loyal regulars you’ll ever meet.

    Settle this one for us

    Where’s the best local spot to grab food? Is it Noochie’s or Nardelli’s? Make your case in the comments on the video.

    Curious what living in Waterbury is really like? The full guide covers neighborhoods, taxes, schools and the best places to eat.

  • Cheshire CT Is Growing Faster Than Almost Anywhere in Connecticut

    Cheshire CT Is Growing Faster Than Almost Anywhere in Connecticut

    Cheshire is booming. New Census data shows the town added more than 2,500 neighbors in five years, making it one of the fastest-growing towns in Connecticut right now.

    What’s driving it

    You can see the growth driving down Highland Avenue. The Shops at Stone Bridge brought new stores and restaurants to town, including Mercato Italian Kitchen & Bar, which opened in September 2026.

    Add Cheshire’s schools, its central location between Waterbury, New Haven and Hartford, and a long list of local favorites, and it’s easy to see why so many people are choosing it.

    Have you noticed Cheshire changing? Tell us what you’ve seen in the comments on the video.
