Father/Son Duo Get 'Hopping' With Redding Beer Company REDDING, Conn. -- A new brewery is coming to town, complete with a lot of community heart and backing. Redding residents Jim Baulsir and his son, David, are three to four weeks away from opening The Redding Beer Company in the space formerly occupied by Aranci 67.

Everything at the moment is -- pardon the pun -- fluid, according to Jim who is still working out the kinks. "We’re…

The Warwick "wannabe chef" said she was trying to think of something different and more creative than what she normally saw in a food truck when she came up with the concept two years ago. She also wanted to do something she personally liked. "This was one way to turn…

A 70-Year-Old Holocaust Story Comes To Life In New Book By Yonkers Author You know how you hear your grandparent's stories over and over but then one day you finally listen and realize there's something incredible there? In a way that's what happened to Yvette Manessis Corporon. When the Yonkers resident first wrote "When the Cypress Whispers" in 2014, a novel about the deep bond between an American woman and her Greek grandmother, she wove in the story her "ya ya" had always told her: about how the people of Erikousa, a small Greek island, hid a Jewish family during World War II. Once she started promoting her book -- her first -- Manessis Co…

So, when her corporate fashion industry job started getting to her thanks to a four-hour daily commute into Manhattan, along with some health issues (she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2013), the Norwalk resident figured something had to give.
