It would be helpful if NHI included a thorough accounting of the payback of 100% of all public funds involved in the Alexion incentive deal. This was also requested in several comments of the NHI story that broke the news of Alexion moving their headquarters to Boston.

Brothers Ricky and Brandon Evans at their rib joint.
Do ribs and beer sound like a good combination to you?
Ricky Evans, owner of Ricky D’s Rib Shack on Winchester Avenue in Science Park, is betting that it does. So he applied for a special permit from the City Plan Commission to allow his restaurant to serve certain alcoholic beverages.

Smith makes her case.
In the early 2000s, a Yale scientist discovers why cutting your arm or finger can result in nerve cells regenerating, but not so if your injury is in the spinal column. He figures out how to inhibit the inhibitors of regeneration for the central nervous system.
In 2010, a company is formed to research the drug, and it passes tests with mice, rats, and monkeys.
In early 2019, human clinical trials are all set to go, giving hope to nearly 17,000 people a year — many young adults — with paralyzing spinal injuries, for whom there’s no reversing treatment, only physical therapy.
Top: Rendering of music venue that won’t be. Bottom, from left: Hausladen: No prejudice. Harp: “Perplexed.” Mahler: “Worst process ever.”
College Street Music Hall’s owners have pulled the plug on plans to build a new music venue downtown.
Their stated reason: They can’t afford to continue wasting money after enduring three years and tens of thousands of dollars negotiating with the city’s Parking Authority in a process that amounted to “a series of smokescreens” and needless “obstructions.”

NOLO ribbon cutting with restaurant owner Derek Bacon and Erector Brewing Collective’s Justin Maturo (center) and NOLO executive chef Joshua Ulmer (right).
Pizza and beer have long made for a winning combination.
A new State Street restaurant and microbrewery ups the culinary ante by not only delivering on thin-crust pies and hoppy beers, but also by baking and brewing those goods in house.

Some of the “deluge” of developments about to hit the city: Downtown Crossing, 87 Union St., Long Wharf, 848 Chapel St.

Acting Economic Development Administrator and Acting City Plan Director Michael Piscitelli.
Publish a single list of development projects that are open to public comment. Use online maps to explain a project’s history and timeline. And clarify land use-related meeting agendas, so that the public can easily understand what a developer is asking of the city.
City officials heard those and other good-governance recommendations from Downtown and Wooster Square neighbors about how best to keep the public informed and engaged during the city’s current deluge of development and construction.

Alisa Bowens-Mercado: No more cash to steal.
After a spate of burglaries, Westville Village businesses are on the lookout for people trying to break into their stores and offices, while moving ahead with a revival of the commercial neighborhood.
Jimmy and Sara Wang have been operating the Wooster Square Coffee Shop ever since they took over the Chapel and Chestnut corner caffeinating institution in 2017 from the former popular Fuel Coffee Shop.
Business is good, Zhiming “Jimmy” Wang said, but to make it better the couple came before the Historic District Commission to seek approval for larger. more welcoming windows, removal of the canvas canopy, installing new lights, and other modest aesthetic improvements.
The commissioners listened, and asked politely if they would also consider tilting back the entire upper facade of their building to recreate the “beautiful ensemble” of three structures that was there before.

The old Alchemy dance floor.
Lounge chairs covered in dust. A scraped wooden dance floor. A hulking bar the shape of a boat. And a broken down kitchen stocked with one last bottle of anisette.
Parking commissioners found those dance-club relics as they toured the vacant Crown Street Garage commercial space, slated to become New Haven’s next hot spot music venue.

Pastor Robert Roy pitches zoners.
Three vacant Wooster Square buildings owned by St. Michael’s Church may be more attractive to a prospective future developer now that they’re en route to receive 15 on-site parking spaces from the adjacent St. Michael’s Church lot, despite some continued neighborhood opposition.
