The great thing about shopping and dining on the Shoreline is that we are far enough away from the “big cities” that we retain our “small town quaintness” yet still have all the great shopping and dining that are associated with those cities. Guilford and Branford are great examples of that. And the Holidays are [...]

Autumn. The time of year that we all head out and do as many things as possible before we break out the snow shovels and wrapping paper.

Connecticut does have a rather unique border. From the tail of the State that is part of Fairfield County, the” Union Gap” , Connecticut is quite unique.

Checked the Forecast from our good friends from Twitter Darren Sweeney and Ryan Hanrahan of WVIT, and Saturday morning looks like a bit of a washout, but the rest of the weekend looks pretty damn good. And, no, I have not forsaken my other favorite weatherman Matt Scott. I just don’t get News12 in New [...]
