NY Times articles.. Shelton and Woodbury
Two recent NY Times articles, one about Shelton and one about Woodbury:
Living in Shelton, Conn. Knowing How to Change With the Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/re...rssnyt&emc=rss
Quote:
Shelton, shaped like an arrowhead, has three sections — whose names residents use even though city leaders have called them divisive.
Pine Rock Park, named after a short-lived amusement park, has mostly ranches on tiny lots.
White Hills, the city’s most rural landscape, where there are still fields of strawberries, is bordered by Walnut Tree Hill Road, which twists past Greek Revivals and gnarled oaks. Late-20th-century homes, like most of Shelton’s stock, line streets radiating off of it, like the aptly named Suburban Drive.
Self-contained Huntington, huddled around historic churches, saltbox Colonials and soup-to-nuts strip malls, is the city’s most upscale section. The “berry” cluster — with Bayberry, Strawberry and Elderberry Lanes — has large set-back contemporaries with lopsided dormers.
