Re: What Happened? Following on Rosanna Trestman’s piece on Norfolk’s retail struggles in last month’s “View from the Green”, I want to let the town know that I have recently made the difficult decision to put the Norfolk Corner up for sale.

Winter Musings By Lindsey Pizzica Rotolo My husband gave me a beautiful book for Christmas, When Wanderers Cease to Roam: a Traveler’s Journal of Staying Put, by Vivian Swift, a former assistant Vice President at Christie’s auction house.

Northwestern Looks To The Stars
By Colleen Gundlach Good things are happening on the hill in Winsted. Too often we read news accounts about schools that are failing to meet our children’s needs and about teachers who don’t care. We need to hear about the exceptional outcomes and imaginative, creative methods being employed to provide top-notch education to students, especially […]

The View is Just Fine Lindsey Pizzica Rotolo surely echoed the views of most if not all Norfolkians in her View From the Green article last month regarding the pride we take in the beauty of our town. Norfolk’s historical architecture is something we all cherish. We should be cautious however in considering the creation […]
