What Is Up @ #TheWinsted Citizen?

Sweet 16 Pages in Transition

From March Madness to April Edition

Hi Readers, Subscribers, Advertisers, Donors

And All Your Pets and Wild Animals

-The Ides of March 2023

LITCHFIELD COUNTY & BEYOND – Here we are chugging along, firing on most cylinders in a jalopy that never will quit despite accurate reports of sputtering and premature speculation of our demise.

The Winsted Citizen is here to stay, enabled and supported by subscriptions, ads, donations and, yes, grants. Several grant offers and applications are in development.

Most importantly, the community welcomed us exuberantly when we first began camping out at McGrane’s, walked the streets to our cozy office at 7 Elm St. – thanks to an extraordinarily generous landlord – and began hanging out at the Center of Our Cosmos, Winsted News. Of course there are stops back and forth along the way like the health food store, the yoga studio, the Gilson, town hall, PD, the bowling alley, our friendly bank, the rocket-fuel tea shop, the college, the jewelry store, the VFW, the American Museum of Tort Law, that fancy coffee shop, the wicked cool restaurant with couches and comedians and music, the country stores, the breweries, The YMCA and, of course, the library.

We mean all libraries. We’ve been to a few. Our pilot edition was mailed to 159 libraries. Some subscribed during a time when the overloaded / under-supported USPS inevitably got slower. Deep thanks to all subscribers for your indulgence with this dilemma which we are working to resolve along with a couple or three others. By the way, our editorial position on libraries is displayed on Page Seven of the March edition.
