I now use a studio in Plainville that has a private free parking lot in front of his studio, so I no longer need to fight for parking on the street on Main Street and then spend my entire visit worrying whether or not my meter has expired. As an added bonus I feel totally safe in Plainville while that would be hard to say in downtown New Britain at any time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
