Meet Frank Morale. Frank and his son, Anthony, run Anthony John’s Pizzeria in North Branford, Connecticut. Frank started making pizza when at the ripe age of 13 in Brooklyn, New York and has made every single pizza pie at Anthony John’s since opening in May of 2010. No joke; this is some of the best [...]
A couple of hours after catching up with Chris in San Diego, we perambulated Balboa Park absorbing a multitude of incredibly pristine detail every which way we turned. As any place with such grandeur, a long-lasting history endures. Balboa Park was once known as City Park, a dedicated public park with 1,400 acres of “scrub-filled [...]
At Left Bank Gallery’s third annual Valentine’s Day workshop, close girlfriends do what we all did best at that age: create. Create anything. Create to our heart’s content. It’s no secret Valentine’s Day is known for breaking out the crafts. Maybe you remember an inkling of that special, precious feeling at this time in your [...]
A picture story unveiled from the archives: The annual Lobster Clambake, a fundraiser headed by the Branford Chamber of Commerce, is one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the Summer. Maine-imported lobsters met their fate with a dinner plate as patrons handed in their “ticky” for their “dinny.” What’s interesting about these ground dwellers [...]
It’s probable I had as much fun photographing these sled masters as they did sailing down the steep slopes at The Pit in East Haven. When I look at these particular frames, I hear an instrumental, operatic tune in my head. I cannot think of the title for the life of me, so much so [...]
Whatever is not permitted is forbidden. And what the hell are “office” games and how can they be prevented? Dang-it! I guess that cuss word would get me thrown off the rink. I suppose the flask in my knapsack has to stay in the car. And with all that cash spent on shielding, why can’t [...]
A “close-knit” knitting group meets once a month at the Hagaman Memorial Library. Miss lady above started observing, but couldn’t resist from trying it out herself. It’s a good skill to know how to knit; something I should relearn one day soon. I still have the knitting needles. I even have some yarn lying around. [...]
It’s a New Year today and with that comes a new chapter. I’m not big into resolutions, but it’s always good to start a new year on the right foot – with motivation, determination, vigilance, mending the holes in your clothes and, of course, a nice, hot cup of coffee. Put your best foot forward [...]
Santa paid a visit to the little kiddies at the Essex Library to read a couple of stories and conduct an elf orchestra comprised of traditional Christmas songs. Also, he sees you, apparently all the time, so hopefully you were all very nice this year! ;D
Hark! how the bells Sweet silver bells All seem to say, “Throw cares away.” Christmas is here Bringing good cheer To young and old Meek and the bold Ding, dong, ding, dong That is their song With joyful ring All caroling One seems to hear Words of good cheer From ev’rywhere Filling the air Oh [...]
Christmastime has struck the Shoreline! I’ve been to just about half, if not more, of my coverage area and sleepy town tree lightings this year, each of them having their own special holiday nuances. Tonight (or morning I should say) we’ll begin with a little touch of East Haven, zooming in on the wee kiddies [...]
The Community Dining Room is a wonderful, privately-run organization that provides sustenance to the hungry and hunger awareness to the community. For 25 years, they have been feeding many of the grumbling tummies and offering companionship to South Central Connecticut residents. Daily hot meals, frozen dinner delivery, and holiday feasts are just a few of [...]
