The day is observed as a celebration of the day on June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes for the flag of the United States.The first national observance of Flag Day took place 100 years after the original resolution on June 14, 1877.Here in Prospect CT, the town had a special flag flying in front of the town Hall to honor both the day and also the students that were also leaving school to start their summer vacation.On any day, we should all be proud to not only see the flag, but to also have it in front of our own homes.Friday Flags:  Flag Day in Prospect CT

Friday Flags in Waterbury CTFor those that care, there is nothing as uplifting as seeing our flag fluttering in a breeze. As the wind swirls, the flag will wave as if the breeze is just there to appreciate the view.Such was the case this past weekend as the winds were strong   in our area. I happened to pass the East Mountain golf course in Waterbury, CT and the tall pole with the flag waving was hard to miss.Many a day as a kid, we would come down the 18th fairway and that flag would stand tall over the clubhouse.As one of the oldest public courses in this area of the state, the East Mountain course still offers a challenge, and for me, I don't remember those holes being so long.Friday Flags in Waterbury CT

 Washington Park Community Center, Waterbury CTI grew up in the South End of Waterbury CT near Washington Park. The community center was a place for Friday night dances, the concession stand is where we all got cold beverages in the summer and hot cocoa in the winter while ice skating on the flooded baseball fields.On the green in front of the building is the flagpole as well as a restored WW! German cannon.It once rested in another part of the park and as kids we would climb all over it and pretend to be in battles. The park is very active at all times of year and adjacent to the community center is a recreational pool that is very busy on warm summer days.  Other areas of the park are ideal for a summer picnic and just relaxing under the trees.Friday Flags  Washington Park Community C...

As an estate planning attorney in New Haven, Connecticut, I counsel clients in all stages of life and with varying backgrounds. Some clients are single, some are married, some are divorced or widowed, and some are in second or third marriages. While all of these situations require different considerations from an estate planning perspective, clients who have remarried and have children from prior marriages find themselves in a unique position. How do they provide for their spouse and ensure their children from a previous marriage are also taken into consideration? To illustrate the potential problem, take the following example: John and Jane are married, and each has a child from a previous marriage. John and Jane both have wills that leave their entire estates to each other. John dies ...

I am a business bankruptcy and insolvency attorney who routinely represents businesses in a variety of bankruptcy matters.  When a corporate client calls me, it is usually because something has gone wrong – maybe they couldn’t pay their rent due to a reduction in monthly sales, so the landlord is ready to kick them out of their prime location, or the recent global supply chain issues are affecting their ability to manufacture their product as forecast, causing a huge reduction in operating cash flow. If this is a smaller business, filing for bankruptcy and reorganizing its debt under Chapter 11 may be the best option for it to survive.  In February 2020, a new federal law known as the Small Business Reorganization Act (the “SBRA” or “Subchapter V”) went into effect.  The SBRA is specifi...

Prospect CT Center Decorated with FlagsWe are starting the Memorial Day weekend and many consider it the kick off to summer as well.The central intersection of town was adorned this past week with flags on all the poles with a 1/2 mile of the intersection.It's not unusual as each year we get a new batch of flags which will last through the fall.Once mentioned by Money magazine as one of the top 300 towns in the country, we still consider ourselves one of the best and certainly one of the most patriotic.Prospect CT Center Decorated with Flags

Sunset in Prospect CTOur town doesn't have a lot of vistas that offer clear views of sunsets, but I had an opportunity earlier this week to get a shot through the trees.  In a couple of weeks, with full foliage this would not be possible,It was a pretty sunset even if we didn't get to see the final splash of colors.Sunset in Prospect CT

Friday Flags in Prospect CTBeing a proud American as well as a veteran, I so appreciate seeing or flag waving proudly. Thanks to Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho  and his inspirational Friday Flags posts, I try to do the same in our area,This week, I stopped to take a flag that flies daily in front of the Prospect Veterinary Hospital on Waterbury Rd in Prospect CT, which shares a building with PAWS, a dog training facility.And after picking up your friend, what could be better than a special personal reward at the adjacent Big Dipper. It's a family owned, old fashioned homemade ice cream parlor with too much to please the eyes and the taste buds.Friday Flags in Prospect CT

Prospect CT Town Wide Tag Sale Sat 5.14.22It will be a day for driving cautiously and not getting upset at the way they park alongside the road. It's the annual town sponsored tag sale and many a front yard and driveways will be open with treasures from the owners looking to clear out the basement and garage with the treasures someone else wants.While many were urged to register in advance, there will be many just taking the advantage of added traffic to sell a few items as well.It is often said that one person's trash is another person's treasure so maybe that special items is waiting 2 streets over.If you like what you see while driving around the town, then maybe I can help you find a yard of your own, here in Prospect, CT.Prospect CT Town Wide Tag Sale Sat 5.14.22
