This week on 0684-Radi0, our free podcast (subscribe here in the iTunes Store), we talk to Jeanne Gnuse, a longtime New Canaanite who this year published her memoir, “The Red Mustang.”
The Gnuses co-founded New Canaan-based HTG Investment Advisors. Here are recent episodes of 0684-Radi0:
Police last week arrested a 55-year-old Newtown man and charged him with driving under the influence. At about 10:07 p.m. on Dec. 4 (a Wednesday), officers were dispatched to Old Stamford and Farm Roads on a report of a single-car crash into a utility pole, police said. Arriving officers found that a vehicle traveling northbound on Old Stamford Road had left the roadway, striking a utility pole along the northbound lane, according to a police report. Officers identified the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, and smelled alcohol on the man while speaking to him, the report said.
For this installment in our local holiday shopping series, we talk to Phil Williams, owner of New Canaan Music at 90 Main St. Here’s a transcription of our conversation. ***
New Canaanite: How are things going so far for the holiday shopping season?
Phil Williams: We kicked things off this season, symbolically and in reality, with the Holiday Stroll on Friday night and Saturday. It really seems to be picking up in earnest. That’s a defining marker.
Maddie’s, a Pine Street eatery that mainly offered burgers and fried chicken sandwiches, closed this past weekend after about 18 months. A sign on the door at 78 Pine St. reads “Permanently Closed” and includes this message: “With sadness and immense gratitude, we will be closing permanently with our last day being 12/07. It has been an absolute pleasure to have served New Canaan and we thank all of our customers for their support.”
Signed “The Maddie’s Team,” the note is similar to one posted on the eatery’s website. It wasn’t immediately clear why Maddie’s closed.
Today we’re launching a series talking to New Canaan retailers about this holiday shopping season. Our first Q&A is with Heather Satin, owner of WAVE, a jewelry, clothing, accessories and home furnishings shop at 86 Elm St. Here’s our exchange. ***
New Canaanite: How is the holiday shopping season going so far? Heather Satin: It’s definitely picking up.
