I'm sorry to hear Saha closed. Across the street from Collegetown proper are restaurants that seem to be doing fine: The Soup Spoon, Bunga Burger Bar, India House, a new pita place.
High rents (and thus prices), parking perceptions, lack of UR/Strong foot traffic, and shops/restaurants being hidden from view (tucked away behind the Mt. Hope front off Celebration Dr.) are problematic for College Town.
P.S. There is plenty of free parking behind Collegetown
Re: “Sinclair TV spreads the conservative message”
As much as I liked Don Alhart, Ginny Ryan and Norma Holland, I stopped watching WHAM 13 news when I learned they were Sinclair-owned and had to run their "must-watch" propaganda. Nope, not having it.
