An employee of Latin Quarters was found shot late last night at the Latin Quarters location near Downtown Nowrich and transported with non life threatening injuries to Backus Hospital. Latin Quarters is located at 80 Broadway in Norwich. Investigation ongoing.

Relatively new here, our prior 19 years were spent in a small Massachusetts town. Where they asked for your name and address before you could speak at a town select meeting.
As a former employee, I have witnessed firsthand the bias that comes from a forceful exchange in council chambers. Rocky is correct and Legal Scholars will attest to the need for and protections of anonymous free speech.
We moved to Norwich in Aug 2023 and sat that local election out, this will be our first. Having done my research the most obvious conclusion I have so far is that one candidate for Mayor in 2025 has never done anything to make Norwich more affordable during his time serving on the City Council.
Sunny, with a high of 33 and low of 2 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
Great information, thanks for sharing. Got me to do a little research. Not a ton of info found so far, but did find this from 2018:
Moved here a couple years back from Massachusetts, and we really like living in Norwich. One of the first things I did when we moved in, I sent my info in to volunteer for the baseball stadium authority. Obviously I never heard back, Norwich abandoned that group years back and let the stadium go into bad shape.
A couple of points...
Yes, it is true that American Rescue Plan funds may very well have been re-allocated for other uses, but they weren't. The objections opposing their reallocation should have been objected to when the City Council was presenting it.
And had I not been in the hospital at the time I would’ve been glad to object it but that’s what happened. Of course, those reallocation should’ve never happened in the first place if we had an ethical committee.
Thanks Marcia! We are onboard with the boycott.
Also will point out that I found these arguments made here in opposition to the boycott to be very unconvincing.
