The Gym Downtown closed around Christmas last year and the space has been empty since then.
The space that was most recently home to The Gym Downtown is empty. It was located on the rear of the building at 161 Bay Road, in downtown Hamilton along Bay Road between Walnut Road and the public safety building. The building also houses Cranberry Fiber Arts. Before it was The Gym Downtown, it was Steve's Gym. The memberships were transferred to The Hamilton Club. Kathy Bradford, who owns the building at 161 Bay Road, said she has no new tenant in the works right now. The building has a parking lot at the rear of the building too. What do you think should fill the former gym space? What would be a good business to go in to the space? Tell us in the comments.

There's an empty storefront along Bay Road in Hamilton - what should go there?
An empty storefront along Bay Road in South Hamilton is looking for a new use - what should go there? The space at 28 Bay Road in downtown Hamilton was most recently home to Country Crossroads Realty, which opened in 2011. After it closed, owner Amy Job next door at Jolie Tea Co. was examining the option of expanding to create a cafe to serve tea and pastries. But that idea wasn't able to become a reality when it was disocvered the septic system for the building was not able to handle a food service business. Job said she is looking at other locations. Before Country Crossroads, the space was home to Taylor Danielle Spa, which moved across the street to the Shoppes at Hamilton Crossing in 2010. It's recently been home to a spa and a real …

Aquilla Farm has plans before Hamilton town officials to divide the 80 acre property into six lots.
The owners of Aquila Farm plan to go before the Hamilton Planning Board on Tuesday night with a plan to divide the 80-acre property into six lots.

The entire property has been listed for sale and on Monday it changed its status to "under agreement." The entire estate was listed for $3.995 million. It is described in the listing as "one of the few authentic and fully operational equestrian estates on the North Shore." The entire property is about 85 acres at 641 and 643 …

Jolie Tea Co. in downtown Hamilton plans to add tables and serve tea and pastries.
A tea shop in downtown Hamilton that opened two years now has plans to expand by adding seating and serving tea and pastries. Jolie Tea Co. at 26 Bay Road plans to expand into neighboring space that was most recently occupied by Country Crossroad Real Estate, which moved out. “We have a large demand from our customers to serve tea,” said owner Amy Job. In addition to adding five tables, Job said she plans to serve tea and pastries. There will not be a kitchen in the new space and the pastries will be brought in, she said. "There's not enough foot traffic to support take-out only," she said. Currently, the store sells loose leaf teas. Jolie's teas are served at Wenham Tea House too. By serving cups of brewed tea in the store, it is a good …

After seven months of renovations, the Black Cow Tap and Grill reopened this week with a bevy of changes.
A newly renovated Black Cow Tap and Grill has reopened in downtown Hamilton, with a new menu "They layout is unbelievable," said general manager Nicole Ananian, who said customers have "literally stopped in their tracks" in the five days since it reopened. Owner Joe Leone said Black Cow has been in its Bay Road location for 18 years without any major changes. "We're going to do it for another 18 years," Leone said. "This is the new Cow." The restaurant had been closed in April to undertake the changes. Changes run the gamut, all adding a "modern industrial" look, he said. A two-sides brick fireplace in the middle of the restaurant was removed and the dining and bar area was opened up into one large space. The room is completely opened up …

A detour for southbound traffic and delays for all drivers on Route 1A through downtown Hamilton are expected on Friday while work continues to rebuild the railroad crossing.
A detour for some drivers and delays for others are in store on Friday as repairs are scheduled to be wrapped up on the railroad crossing in downtown Hamilton. The work is being conducted two weeks after a bicyclist got her tire stuck in a rut between the road surface and rail and was flipped over her handlebars and onto the road. She was taken by ambulance to the hospital with minor injuries. Workers from Massachusetts Bay Railroad Co., which runs the commuter rail service for the MBTA, came out that day to make temporary repairs but soon afterward agreed that an entire remake was needed for the crossing. The repairs to the crossing started on Wednesday at 12 a.m. and lasted until about 3:30 p.m. While the work was originally planned to …
