This was taken from the overlook at Little-Laurel Lime Ridge in Seymour while hiking this past weekend. It’s one of my favorite views in the valley and another reason why I love Connecticut.

The Valley gets a new source for news this week with the launch of the Valley Independent Sentinel. The online-only news site will be covering the towns of Derby, Ansonia, Shelton, Seymour and Oxford. Check out the video of the launch event below or head on over  http://www.ValleyIndependentSentinel.org to check it out.

It seems like no matter where I am in the area all I need to do is look
up and I see it towering above me.  It’s a bit pricey, but one of the nicest apartment buildings I’ve come across locally.

We were hanging out in the lounge on the top floor the other night.  If you go up there you can go out on the patio where you’ll get some nice views of New Haven, Bridgeport and Long Island Sound off in the distance.
