“I must be in the wrong building.”

I went to Town Hall to drop off a letter to the selectmen today.  As I entered, I expected to see the First Selectman’s door closed.  It’s always been closed every time I’ve been to Town Hall in the six years I’ve lived here.  I’m not exaggerating.  I wasn’t even sure if that door opened at all.

Today, it was opened.

Marlborough Bakery Not Leaving Town

I received a phone call from Georgette, the owner of the Marlborough Bakery.  She said that she’s been inundated with condolences and discussion about the bakery leaving town, due to the statement made by Bob Elliot at the recent BOF meeting, which I wrote about on this blog.

Georgette wanted to let me know that she is not leaving town, and not going out of business.  She’d much rather get back to running her business than clarifying whether she’s leaving town.   Therefore, I’m conveying this information to everyone who reads the blog, so that you don’t have ask her about it anymore.

While Georgette said that the sewer “is a mess”, and she doesn’t disagree with Elliot on the effect it’s having on businesses, the Marlborough Bakery is doing just fine and she has no plans on taking it out of town.

 

BOS Meeting Tomorrow, November 15th

A meeting of the new Board of Selectmen is scheduled for tomorrow, November 15th, 7:00 PM at Town Hall.  No agenda is posted yet, but I’ll likely be attending.  It’s probably too soon to expect any of former Selectman Black’s messes to be revealed, but who knows?

Updated 11/14/11 5:50 PM: The BOS agenda is up and available here.
