Downtown Yonkers - How Much Longer??

I love the City of Yonkers! As the 4 largest city in New York State (by population as of 2005) it has so much to offer. It has loads of businesses, industrial entities, shopping and entertainment. It is also one of the closest cities in Westchester County to NYC.

On Feb. 26th, 2008 Mayor Amicone hosted a public forum on downtown development in Yonkers which I regretably missed, outlining the future of Yonkers. Featured were the plans for a state-of-the-art ballpark at chicken island and the opening of Saw Mill River.

Downtown Yonkers is amazing, it has really come a long way. Awesome new restaurants, shops, metro north station uplift and tons of great waterfront coops/condos and homes. Blocks that have been known for late night summer hang outs are ghost towns at dusk. I still wonder why it hasn't taken off like the White Plains developments. Is there still a stigma?

Michael nice post, is there a link to the City of Yonkers I can check things out at? What are some of your favorite restaurants, I love recommendations and do they have websites so I check menus and stuff? What is Chicken Island, is it park? can I take the kids? If I want to move to Yonkers what would single fmaily hoiuse cost me? co-op? I think it sounds great and I would love more information to help me make a decision. Your comment about why it hasn't taken off concerns me through - what's wrong. The schools, I know you can't discuss the schools I will check out myself is there a link?
