The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Apr. 8, 2011

Congratulations to Prentice Printing Solutions President Bruce Burchsted and Pyramid Time Systems President John Augustyn who received respectively the Small and Large Business Leadership Awards from the Greater Meriden Chamber of Commerce last Thursday.

Amtrak crews are out in Meriden along the railroad line clearing brush for improvements in the New Haven to Springfield line. They can work during the daytime here, since there are two sets of tracks, underlying the absurd decision, two decades ago, to allow removal of one set of tracks along most of the 60-mile line.

While from a large development standpoint, there are those who wish the Meriden-Waterbury Road were more accessible and less bothered with low bridges, from the standpoint of those who use the road, it’s not so bad. While national chains may prefer the atmosphere along Queen Street in Southington and other roads of that type, not everyone in town necessarily enjoys that particular environment.
