• Downed Tree Closes Part Of Trail In Cheshire (patch.com) — Cheshire residents who use the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail should steer clear of the stretch between West Main Street and Jarvis Street, where a large fallen tree has forced a temporary closure. Public Works crews are working to clear the obstruction, and officials urge people to avoid the area until it's reopened for safe use.
   

• Home With 'Warm And Inviting Atmosphere' Hits The Market In Cheshire (patch.com) — House hunters in Cheshire may be interested in a newly listed four-bedroom Center Hall Colonial on Meadow Brook Place, offering over 2,300 square feet of living space.
