Perhaps they could try to sell me ... A box of quarks. Or a wildebeest.

I looked you up. You've done the town proud. 😁
I recall the names of the "leaders" of Derby in the '80s. And the Derby reporter's desk was next to mine in the newsroom. He was a Reagan Republican and I thought he took it easier on elected officials than he might have.

Considering the traffic on 34 -- one would think Derby had a chance at ... being something other than a drive-through.
I never knew Ansonia was even there until I got the job there. Rte 34 was just how one got to New Haven.

I was long gone when Thomson closed it -- but heard about it and went there on the day it happened. I still had friends there.

I was a reporter for The Evening Sentinel, office and press next to Ansonia City Hall, in the mid '80s. ;)

There used to be a lumberyard and a hardware store downtown. So of course they plopped down a Home Depot right down the road.

This looks like it's from 2018 (!!?) www.derbyct.gov/economic-dev...

I was a reporter in the area in the '80s ... and Main Street was pretty far gone then. Redevelopment efforts came and went and came to nothing. I bet there is even a current plan that is coming to nothing as I type.
