Groton City resident Bryon Niemann remembers going to Thames Street regularly as a child to buy comic books and candies.
The shops on the street catered to the neighborhood during a time when most households only had one car, if that, he said.
But like in most places in the country, many of those businesses gave way to big-box stores and malls, which then gave way to the internet, he said. Now, Thames Street has massive traffic but hardly anyone stops, and if they do, they find it hard to find a parking spot, he said.
Niemann, who has lived near Thames Street on and off for 60 years and has seen the street in its many forms, was among about a dozen city residents who gathered outside during a workshop the city held Thursday evening at Thames View Park to share their perspectives on Thames Street and ideas for the corridor s future.

City Council members on Monday spoke in favor of a proposed agreement with FTTB LLC, which will purchase the house at 108 Thames St. and adjacent property at 0 Broad Street for $1 and renovate the exterior of the house according to historical standards. A vote on the purchase and sales agreement is scheduled for Tuesday s Mayor and council meeting.
City Mayor Keith Hedrick said the proposal will get the properties back on the tax rolls. The plan is to sell both properties for $1 due to the significant cost of the restoration of the Mother Bailey House, which requires extensive renovations, including work to its foundation, windows and clapboard siding.

Just up the road is Fort Griswold, a revolutionary war battlefield in Groton. Two hundred men met their untimely demise and it too is believed to have spirits around.
“My understanding is that we have two different types of hauntings if what we consider to be an active haunt is that a spirit is aware that they’re gone and that it’s a different time and they linger behind, McInvale explained. It’s usually because they have some sort of story that they need to communicate or it’s a place of significance to them that they’re going to continue to return to it almost as if checking in as our loved ones might check in on us.
