[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It had really fallen apart. I remember when they did a big renovation back in the late 80s'/early 90s. There were so many shops and great places to eat. We'd go as a family (I was a kid at the time) just to have dinner there.

We took our kids there a few months ago since we had an Amtrak to NYC. So many vacant storefronts, and not much on offer at all. The place has really declined. I don't know who to blame, but whatever they had been trying to do to fix it wasn't working.[/quote]

Amtrak already announced months ago the whole revitalization plan. They, like DC, did not need Trump.[/quote]

Now you made me look it up. Amtrak took over in July 2024. They did some minor improvements.

Then there's a 13-year $8.8billion "Second Centry Plan" that looks great, managed by Amtrak and Union Station Redevelopment Corp (USRC). It seems ambitious and pricey:

The announcment today is that Amtrak will run the rail side of the station; then USRC will run the retail side, along with DOT.

If anything it should be the opposite. [/quote]
