If you are sad about the enormous pine tree on Nichols Green that fell in the storm. last week, them come to The Nichols Garden Club Holiday Boutique because we gathered as many limbs and branches as we could before they took the pine tree and ground it up. We are going to use them in our mailbox covers, fresh swags, wreaths and centerpieces. You can have a little piece of that lovely, old pine tree and of a long Nichols tradition by coming to the Holiday boutique. It will be held on Friday, December 7 from noon to 8 p.m. and Saturday, December 8 from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 p.m. at the Starkweather House, aka, The NIA House , 1773 Huntington Tpke, Nichols.
Come to our Holiday Boutique
Putting the greens from the enormous downed pine tree on Nichols Green to good use.

It would be nice if crossing the Bridgeport into Trumbull border was noticeable- a sudden shift from…Read More fast food and dilapidated buildings to greenery and well maintained buildings. Unfortunately that strip of Main St has had its character erode as commercial zoning inched north. The imposing structures of the mall and Merritt make it very difficult to see this no man's land as remaining residential for much longer.

I'm ashamed that in the recent past, Trumbull town planners have chosen to use the beautiful…Read More historic Merritt Parkway as some sort of cheap zoning boundary that, depending on which side you live on, determines if your neighborhood will remain residential or become commercial.
It was even suggested in the foreword of a book about the history of Trumbull, that the Merritt Parkway somehow "bisected" the town and the founders were wise to locate all new commercial development south of it. It doesn't bisect the town.
We all have to live with the bad decisions other people make, but nothing did more to devastate our town "center" than to locate new development on our southern border.
Now we're left with a confusing gateway from Bridgeport into Trumbull along Main Street. When people ask now - are we in Trumbull yet? The answer is - yes, we have been for the last half mile...
