Things were certainly booming in New Britain Saturday night as the City celebrated the Fourth of July. It seemed to me to be more people seeing the fireworks than ever before. Streets were jammed with cars that never stopped.
Although I enjoy fireworks, I do not like them every night. Illegal fireworks need to be stopped by police. Did you hear about the guy who died from lighting a firework on his head in Maine? What an unnecessary tragedy. When I was young someone from New Britain had some fingers blown off. Don’t mess with illegal fireworks. There is a reason they are illegal.
I had a little incident trying to get back to my house after the fireworks. A police officer made me wait about an hour to get to my street which was closed due to the fireworks. Let’s say I was very upset as he let close to a dozen other cars go through.
I want to thank our Sports Correspondent in Matthew Cannata for his time working at the City Journal. He will be leaving to take a position with the Board of Education. We will miss him. It also means I need a sports writer. Send resumes to New Britain City Journal, PO Box 2111, New Britain, CT 06050. It is only a one story a week job. Some photography would be appreciated. Send writing samples.
So this week I had coffee with someone at New Britain Diner. Each week I try to tell you a bit about a restaurant. Most of you have been to the diner already. But, I can tell you that I had Chocolate Cream pie and it was the biggest piece I have ever had. It was delicious. Every meal at the diner is large. It is the best place for breakfast in the City because its portions are huge. There are others that are excellent in New Britain, but none bigger. You always get your money’s worth. If you are really hungry, this is the place to go. I never had a bad meal there and I doubt you will either.
I think I am beginning to reach a few people about solar and I am glad. Keep calling me for appointments at 860-357-1091. I will be at various events throughout the area as well so stop by and say ‘Hi!’
This week’s joke is not funny, but it is meant to make you think.
“If someone from 1950s suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain them about life today?
Chances are it would be that you possess a device, in your pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man. And I use it most to look at pictures of cats and get in arguments with people.”
Until next week be careful what you do with your phones and keep reading YOUR #1 Most Trusted New Britain Newspaper!
