New in 2009
Nob Hill Plaza looks great! Not only are the building completed, the parking lot has recently been freshly paved.
The corner of Evers Street and Huntington Turnpike. Construction is taking place across from Tony's Huntington Pizza. It may be a new home or something else. (It looks to be a 3 unit townhouse apartment building.)
New in 2008
2008 saw a new shopping center completed on the corner of Broadbridge Road and Huntington Turnpike. The 1055 Huntington center is home to 7 businesses, 6 new to the area.
Nob Hill Plaza
Demolition and construction in the shopping center by Food World (Huntington Turnpike & Evers Place).
Rumor has it a Dollar Store and Pharmacy will be housed in the portion north of Food World. I understand that Food World will be undergoing a face lift as well.
-- Tony's Huntington Inn has music on many summer weekends. Look for their sandwich board sign on the Corner of Evers Street and Huntington Turnpike for upcoming artists. Goggle map & review

Beardsley Park
Park View from East Main Street
Beardsley Park still retains much of its historic character with its winding roads and paths through woodlands. The Pequonock River runs through the now nearly 200-acre park, with the 42-acre Bunnell's Pond offering terrific fishing.
Beardsley Park (open year-round) is a great resource to the neighborhood and the entire city.
