Though facing an eviction deadline Wednesday, the residents whose Fort Trumbull neighborhood has been seized by eminent domain don't expect anything to happen for nearly a week and expect more legal battles before the case is resolved. The dispute over the waterfront New London property reached the U.S. Supreme Court last year, when a divided court ruled that the city could take the land for a private development. Most of the neighborhood has been razed but a handful of homeowners refuse to leave. They'd be kicked out of their homes if a deal wasn't reached by Wednesday. (Hartford Courant, Wednesday)
