Asplundh Pruned Widely for Eversource

Starting at the end of January, Asplundh, the multi-capable landscape maintenance company usually seen in town helping clear downed trees after past storms, was put to work by Eversource trimming and felling trees that would threaten their power lines in future storms.

Cafe Barista Opens

By |

As this report is being written, the newly-named Cafe Barista planned to hold a soft opening in the week of March 21. The Observer reported last April (page 10) that this welcome enhancement in Suffield Center would offer sandwiches and salads seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Its name now implies that a variety of coffee-based refreshments will be offered as well. During a short, pre-opening tour, building owner/proprietor Ajay Malhotra said eighteen different flavors of gelato will be offered. We await with interest. This operation is very much a local effort, as the Malhotra family lives in town, Mrs. Malhotra – Shalu – is the manager, and several of the newly-hired staff are Suffieldians.
