"Disappointing"......That's the reaction of the President of Uptown Saint John to the start of demolition at the old Paramount Theatre in King Square. Matt Alexander, though, is far from downcast about what the future holds.
Uptown Saint John made a concerted effort to get enough public and financial support to see the theatre transformed to another use but failed.
Alexander is hopeful the development of the Coast Guard site by Market Square will act as a catalyst to spur further development in the uptown. He says there's alot of energy in that part of the city these days.
