You may have been reading that 'America's Most Wanted' is running a competition to identify first-responder type All-Stars. Based on his many years of dedicated service to the citizens of Prospect, Mayor Bob Chatfield of Prospect's name has been placed into nomination.
To vote on-line, please go to http://www.amw.com/allstar/2009/nominee_detail.cfm?id=6333and cast your vote for our own All Star, Bob Chatfield. Unlike our local elections, and somewhat reminiscent of Chicago politics, I encourage you to 'Vote early and often'. You have until midnight, April 12 to make your vote(s) count.
Anyone that knows Mayor Bob knows his dedication to the people of town. This is made obvious from the 24,000+ fire and medical calls he has responded to!
Please show your support for this Connecticut All-Star!

Well I have begun the search for new post signs and have really been overwhelmed. There are so many choices from white to black, aluminum steel or coroplast,
Hanging panels or the "premier" style.
Then there are also so many companies. I believe I have narrowed it down to Lowen or DeeSigns.
I think I am leaning towards the Reflective Aluminum, and in black with a black hanging post, BUT from who?
And how well do these self installable signs stay up and handle the elements. I would love to hear from anyone that placed an order recently.
Lowen and Deesigns seem to be close pricewise, anyone have experience with them.
Have any pictures of yours?
Feel free to email me direct or post here.

The front page of the Waterbury republican talks about home sales here in Ct. dropping 35% from January 08'. Although they do notice people have a "renewed interest in the State market".
I ran my own January 08' vs. January 09' comparison for the towns my brokerage are most active in.

Now these numbers are slightly skewed due to the fact there were 6 properties that were foreclosures that were very rough. These homes are often "Cash Only" sales seeing as though no bank will allow a mortgage on them. One actually sold for $14,000 and the other 5 were right around $30,000. I removed those 6 from the chart below and the average sales price is "Up" to $129,500. Still a far cry from the $219,900 in 2008.
