Trucks are, with few exceptions, not allowed on the Merritt Parkway… and with good reason.

A new agreement could help widen a gateway vital to the Northeast’s economy, including Connecticut’s.

I love getting feedback from you, my faithful readers.  So I thought I’d share some recent comments.

Ah, for the glory days of American railroads!

While Connecticut is still months away from legal recreational pot sales, it could be a boon for tourism and tax revenue when it finally happens.

Now that the M8s are finally running on Shoreline East, trains will run a bit faster. But the problem is there are so few passengers.
