The 2 portable classrooms for Long Lots Elementary School approved Tuesday by the Board of Education hit a roadblock yesterday.
The Board of Finance declined to vote on the $600,000 request. They want to make sure that other options — including moving some students to other schools with more space — are considered.

“Don’t you even know how to make a proper turn?!”

Main Street continues to add new stores.
Gorjana will open this summer, at #74 — the current location of Sunglass Hut.
Gorjana — a high-end jewelry boutique based in California — opened its first Connecticut location on Greenwich Avenue early last year. They operate 40 boutiques in “lifestyle centers and high street locations in affluent markets nationwide.”
Meanwhile, Courtgirl will lease their first bricks and mortar location: 2,350 square feet on the upper level of 125 Main Street (the Gap building).
The line of gift and related products for tennis and golf launched in 2019. Courtgirl products are now sold in over 500 private clubs, pro shops and sports stores.

And finally … Phil Ramone was born today, in 1934. He died in 2013.

Hey Dan, perhaps it was intentional, but that’s a pic of Joey Ramone, not Phil Ramone. Just sayin!
Wrong pic of Phil Ramone. That is of the band. The Phil born today was an engineer and producer extraordinaire.

I could say I was just trying to see if people were paying attention.
But I won’t.
My mistake. I screwed up.
Anyone know if Sunglass Hut moving or closing?
When I saw the Ramone photo and the birth date of 1934 I started to feel VERY old to think a “Ramone” would be almost 90 today…until I realized the mistake previously noted. Phew….
Good post guys!
