The Editor's Notepod, Mon., July 26, 2010

State/Rail corridor: plans to restore the second set of tracks on the railroad line from the Meriden/Berlin line through Newington (by the end of 2012) and progress of plans to repair – at long last – the main rail line between Springfield and points north which have limited speeds for many years to 10 mph. Imagine!

The Sgt. Jeffrey S. Boucher Auto Show, an event which will raise scholarship money in memory of a Meriden police officer who died too young, at the Hub on August 8. Thhis is a fine way to turn a sad event – the officer’s death – into a living and positive memorial.

And, thanks to the recent visit of the Cole Bros. Circus, the increased prominence of the Hub – or whatever it may eventually be called – as a venue for festive occasions and fun in downtown Meriden.
