A 2020 vision of downtown Torrington
It is the summer of 2020, and after scanning the latest readers’ debate on President Caroline Kennedy’s bid for re-election, I look out the window of our offices at registercitizen.com. There I see a family who’d biked up the downtown, riverfront Greenway after shopping at the Barnes and Noble in the old shopping plaza across from Coe Park. They stopped next to our building for a treat at the old railroad station, restored and reopened a few years back as an ice cream and coffee shop.
