One of the biggest concerns (besides finding the perfect Connecticut town to live in) is what corporations and types of businesses are in Connecticut and where.  Today, we are very much a society of two, working professionals, so when one person has a chance for a great career opportunity in another area they must carefully evaluate the impact on their partner.  To view the entire article and list of Connecticuts Largest Coporations click here.     02/22/2008

Brightness "stars" on the horizon for Milford. Kudos to Jim Aman, Speaker of the House and Milford,CT resident for doing his part to build Connecticut's economy and job base.   Jim along with Hollywood East (the development committee for these projects) is one of the proponents for film-industry tax credits which are largely responsible for several movies recently being filmed here and featuring stars such as Uma Thurman, Harrison Ford and other big names.   The next big project will be set around a local bar and called "The Wreck"  to find out more out this and other film related projects in Connecticut click here. Who knows one of these projects could propel a unknown local into stardom! Maybe even me.   12/22/2007

A new book recently published about Milford CT and authored by seventeen year old Peter Eason, a resident of Milford, has released his first book The Founding Fathers Footsteps.  Peter not only wrote the book, which provides a walking tour of the downtown area, he also took the photographs that focus on his topic - the city's 20 historic markers. Now those of us who grew up or currently live in Milford have seen these around the town for years, and I for one have just walked on by without searching for their story which as it turns out is very interesting indeed. Included in the book is the town's first mill, the site of the tavern where George Washington dined as well as former locations of Robert Treat who was not only one of Milford's founder fathers, but went on to found Newark New... 12/20/2007
