Today's riddle: What has a cap but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• South Windsor Moves Ahead With Clark Street Deal (patch.com) — South Windsor officials are moving forward with a proposed $600,000 purchase of 13.56 acres next to Wapping Park, and residents can weigh in at a public hearing Monday. The deal would secure the rear portion of 645 Clark Street for open space, while leaving the front for the current owner. Some residents and open space advocates are urging the town to consider acquiring the entire parcel in the future.
• Southington, Plainville both seeking 4-0 starts; others look to bounce back (bristolpress.com) — South Windsor football fans can celebrate a big early-season statement, as the Bobcats snapped Berlin's 15-game winning streak with a 14-13 comeback that's highlighted in this week's statewide matchup rundown. The article also previews other key Connecticut high school games, including Southington, Plainville, and New Britain, offering context on how South Windsor's tight win fits into the broader Week 4 picture.
• My Ride: South Windsor man restores 1974 Checker Marathon (thehour.com) — A South Windsor car enthusiast is turning heads with his restored 1974 Checker Marathon A12E, a massive, limo-style classic he says "drives like a living room." After first relying on a beat-up Checker in college, he hunted down this extended model so his kids and their friends could pile in, adding modern touches while keeping the vintage taxi charm.
