SMALL TOWN TALK

by Jill DeChello
I love meeting new people in town. I met the new owner
of the cigar and tobacco store on Washington, Abdul.
Stamati (Hot Dog Grille) was there greeting him also.

First Selectman Mike Freda, Sam (Sam's Place), Ray Andrewsen
(Qunnipiac Chamber of Commerce)

Our First Selectman, Mike Freda and Executive Director of our
Abdul (Cigar & Tobacco) & Stamati (Hot Dog Grille) Chamber stopped in to wish him luck.
And, we all know yummy food is my weakness.
If you haven’t been back to Dino’s, go now! Is it
possible it tastes even better now that it is 10
minutes closer? Chris served Ellie and I personally.
And, it’s a process. I have to stick my head in to see
Sam at Vines and Sylvia at the bakery.

Dave Yaccarino & Elise (Moonrise Cafe)

Moonrise Café hosted coffee with the legislators the day
I stopped in. I love Elise and it is always nice to see Dave
Yaccarino.
Ellie Dietz & Chris (Dino's Seafood)

The Mediterranean Dinner at Sam’s Place was
so much fun. EVERYONE was there! And I
discovered Turkish Coffee.

Sadie (FedEx) Brett (DiamondZone)

If you haven’t met Sadie, she is the new manager at the fed ex
office. She is so easy to work with. I spend a lot of time there.
Her and Maria are so creative. On the other side of town, I
visited Brett at Diamond Zone to see all the trophies, visited
Mediterranean Dinner at Sam's Place Chris at Inferno (new ice cream sandwiches).
