The game was at a FREEZING Renschler Field in East Hartford, but the crowd seemed to be having a good time. Florida won.

Here's a late-70's Channel 5 package on a benefit held to raise money for the man, who was at the time fighting what would turn out to be a losing battle against kidney disease.

Looks like this place has either just opened or will be opening any day now - Grandaddy's BBQ in Putnam. Look at that smoker!

BP Comes to the Northeast

hunthurst@earthlink.net (Jim O'C) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:23:00 +0000

This is obviously because of Exxon and Getty pulling out of the retail market, the same reason Irving and Phillips 66 have moved into the area. BP used to have a presence here 30 years ago. I remember one in Falmouth, back when their logo looked like this:

Those stations, as far as I remember, eventually became Gibbs gas stations. And the Gibbs stations eventually became Hess stations.

Out west, BP stations are known for their modern design, but around here they're just basic redressings of existing stations and they don't look very modern.

New Mural at Corner Grille

It was half-done when I snapped this photo. This replaces the old mural which featured a white-haired man eating pizza and lyrics for "That's Amore".

A suitcase full of clothes, on the sidewalk, in the rain. Was this a child's dramatic runaway attempt called off at the last moment when the thought of the big world out there became too scary? Or is it a bag ripped off from the back seat of a parked car and rifled through? Or the whole of a homeless person's possessions, somehow lost or maybe abandoned?
