In My Backyard

This afternoon I finally made it over to the Connecticut Creative store that borders Colt Park. Considering that I’ve been in this neighborhood for over a year now, it’s shameful that I only today got inside of this store. In my defense, they are only open about four hours per day.

What does a store near the old Colt estate in the middle of a city sell? Salsa, books, cow manure flower pots, suncatchers, postcards, sweaters, t-shirts, soda, soap, and dozens of other things, all made in Connecticut.
