I was born and raised in Paterson ( live outside usa now ) and I am drawn to Paterson every trip back home.Can’t they start with reno-ing the office buildings to bring in people that care? Then revamp the Fabian into a high end burlesque, dinner, cigar club ? The second floors of the old stores have great spaces for artists or huge living lofts.. Offer the best of the best silk !! companies to sell their silks in Paterson.. Get fashion to move in.. Then they will create restaurants, galleries..the new SOHO .. The bones are there. An aggressive sell to a few good people with a keen eye can get the ball rolling..Asbury Park sparks more interest than Paterson and Paterson has far more to offer as far as buildings, history, location…….and make the Alexander Hamilton a swanky hotel it once was !
