Although the only way that would work would be to disincorporate that area from Bridgeport and give it its own name or no one would want to admit living there
Trump and his partners tried for a casino, but the Indians killed it. They don't like competion. Than I forget the reason but the city of Bridgeport was being dumb about it too.

So many things have to fall into place with such projects, only a small percentage succed

Nice to have you back!

With that kind of land you can build whatever the heck you want on it. Helipad, heck you have room for a runway...

I suspect the area is one of Bridgeport's brownfield sites-
Remington factory for loft condo conversion? Anyone?
Step one would be to clean up the Bridgeport govenment.

Exactly what I said when I heard he sold his interest.

I knew the Casino idea was dead when he sold out, since out of the whole group Trump was the one with the most casino experiance.

I had never heard that story before but the second I saw it fights with Foxwoods and Mohegan popped right into my head.

You'd have to hold off on The Havens, those would require smart bombs as to not damage anything owned by Yale (which is like half the city) Last I checked, most of that stockpile is still in the Middle East
