Danielson's New Vibe

For many years downtown looked as if on the verge of becoming a ghost town, the vibrant shopping sites of the 70's and 80's seemed to disappear one by one and the borough began to be void of activty. Good news is a new group of entrepenuers have jumped in to bring a sense of renewal to the empty streets with a couple of restaurants slated to open soon, a coffee shop and other retail sites newly opened that are bringing folks back to the borough. I wish them well and hope more people come out to support them. Danielson and the town of Killingly have a good vibe going, check it out.

Tiffany and Company, the humble beginnings.

In 1837 Charles Lewis Tiffany borrowed 1.000 dollars from his father who owned a cotton mill on Tiffany Street in Brooklyn, CT. He and a friend, John B. Young used the money to buy a small stationary store in New York City. As they expanded they added glassware, porcelain, clocks and jewelry. They built a reputation for selling top quality items and in 1848 began manufactoring their own jewelry. They now have over 300 stores worldwide and revenue of over 4 billion dollars and it all began with a thousand dollars on Tiffany Street in Brookly, CT.

Lighting Up Davis Park

Christmas Lights that Pop

Have you noticed that fewer homes are decorated for Christmas? It took driving through several neighborhoods to get a few pictures. I guess it's not a big deal anymore. At one time seems like most home's had at least a couple of ornaments on the lawn or lights strung on the eaves celebrating Christmas. We were able to find several after traversing many streets. Hope they bring some cheer to you.

Spectacular Christmas Lights

The Amarante family begins stringing lights and assembling animations way back on labor day hoping to be ready to light up Winter Wonderland by thanksgiving eve. With great effort they manage to have the 185 thousand bulbs sparkling on time to greet the thousands of visitors who will walk the marvelous paths of the Wonderland that is open until New Years day. The Wonderland is located on route 101 in Killingly, Ct. Here's a few video clips for you to enjoy. check out my You Tube channel at John Holland@bluegrassers
