Streets for People: Your Guide to Safer and Quieter Streets

Streets for People: Your Guide to Safer and Quieter Streets from Transportation Alternatives is a toolkit full of solutions for traffic problems. It's also a description of how people everywhere are using these tools to beat back

the threat that uncontrolled motorized traffic poses to their safety and quality of life.

You can have a livable community while keeping motor vehicle access to homes and businesses. This booklet will show you the way.

 New London voters elected five Democrats and two Republicans to the City Council in a four-party race that knocked two incumbents seeking re-election out of office.

 Democrat Michael Buscetto III received the most votes of any candidate in all seven districts and the absentee ballots with a total of 2,492. Almost two-thirds of those who voted cast ballots for Buscetto.
Well, that's all well and good but...
Will he be our next mayor?  Will it matter what two-thirds of the voters had to say?
Or will the next mayor, albeit a ceremonial position be chosen by the Democratic Town Committee as usual?

What a fascinating blog this is. 
Had it not been for my good friends
at Google, I would not have known
it existed. 

From New London Wine Blogspot -

Many of you know that we own the
building that Parade News is located
in. Parade News and the Condon
family have provided New London
with newspapers and magazines,
tobacco and impulsive necessities of
all types for over fifty years.
Parade News is a New London
landmark - it has been in the same
location since the 1950's - So,when
the family decided recently to retire
the business, many people wondered
what's going to happen? Where will
we get our newspapers and fine cigars?
Where will we get that copy of
European Men's Vogue for the train
ride into The City?
Where will I be able to find those
outlawed spiced, clove & honey cigarette's
that are all the rage on The Continent?

The answer my friends is don't worry -
we will carry on the proud tradition -
we will not let the changing hands of
time shut off the lights on a New London
tradition. All of the Big City newspapers
and magazines, fine cigars and tobacco,
candy & chocolate, nuts & snacks, will be
right there where you expect them to be.
Your routine will not have to change. We
will update things a bit - and make the
whole thing as user-friendly as possible.
All of your requests, comments, and
suggestions are welcome - and now is the
time to let us know - and please spread
the word.

 I LOVE AMAZON SO MUCH THAT
I'VE EVEN ADDED A WIDGET
"CLOUD" HERE THAT WILL
ALLOW YOU TO SEE AND BUY

Author Hopes To Plant Seeds Of Resurgence For Backyard Gardens

By Megan Bard

Published on 11/4/2007

New London — If Americans are to be successful with the preser- vation of open space and saving what's left of the biodiversity of the planet, says award-winning author Patricia Klindienst, they must adjust their perception of the common backyard garden. Klindienst told a group of 40 people gathered in Connecticut College's Blaustein Humanities Center Saturday, “The idea of the garden has been stripped of its cultural identity.”... Once inspired, the rest of the seminar provided people like Claire Calabretta with some advice on how to return to the garden and manage its growth. “We all have these patches of earth we call gardens, but I just happen to have no idea what I'm doing,” Calabretta said, smiling. During her nearly hour-long address on “Staying Connected to the Earth,” Klindienst shared excerpts from her recent book, “The Earth Knows My Name: Food, Culture, and Sustainability in the Gardens of Ethnic Americans.”.. “The hope is just to start,” she said, “to get out and dig up a piece of soil and plant something.” A Smarter Lawn Begin by setting aside an area of lawn for planting shrubs and trees that will attract wildlife. Plant native species, which will begin to decrease the size of your lawn, and, in time, will shade out the grass. (next column)

Today, The Garde owns and operates a complex of four adjacent buildings in downtown New London, the centerpiece of which is the 1,472-seat Garde Theatre, an historic movie/vaudeville house (1926). Built in 1926 during the golden era of the motion pictures and vaudeville theatres, the recently restored Moroccan interior of the Garde Theatre, along with the new seats and state-of-the-art stage equipment, provide a very audience-friendly theatre venue in a warm and beautiful atmosphere. From the Royal Caribbean International Site New London Connecticut Given its name, it should come as no surprise that this lovely seaport city sits at the mouth of the Thames River. And like its namesake across the pond, it's as lively a waterway today as ever. From its roots as a Revolutionary War naval base to a 19th century world-class whaling port, New London has thrived over the years as a major shipping and trading center. Today, you can see evidence of the city's rise to prominence in the many fine examples of Greek Revival, Gothic and Victorian architecture that line its streets. Among these is Monte Christo Cottage, where Eugene O'Neill, the father of American drama, lived and wrote his Pulitzer Prize-winning "Long Day's Journey Into Night." But whether you're a fan of literature or architecture or just coastal New England ambience, you'll find a lot to enjoy about this charming seaside town. Aside from a few differences of opinion, which is putting it mildly, we do have a lovely town.  With any luck at all, our elected officials will refrain from destroying anymore of it.  Flawless Films presents Inclusions, a locally written, shot, and produced dark comedy.   After learning of a process that can transform human remains into diamonds, James, a corrupt jeweler, convinces his best friend Tom, a mortician, to provide bodies to implement his sinister plan.  Tom discovers that a diamond’s quality is determined by the quality of the body’s soul.  As James’ obsession to make the perfect diamond grows, he decides to hand pick bodies, but soon learns that perfection is hard to come by.  Will James make the perfect diamond?
