📰 News we're reading

• Stonington field hockey looks to regain ECC supremacy (thewesterlysun.com) — Stonington High's field hockey team is gearing up to defend its ECC tournament title after last year's 11-6-2 season, despite a slightly smaller roster. With standout junior Hana Lyon returning and several experienced defenders back, coaches expect a strong postseason run as Stonington again battles East Lyme and other conference rivals for league supremacy.
   

• Why is my unit not renting? (biggerpockets.com) — A landlord is struggling to find tenants for a long‑term, unfurnished duplex unit in Stonington Borough, despite its walkable location near the beach and downtown. They compare strong demand at a cheaper eastern Connecticut property with zero interest so far at $2,950 a month in Stonington, and are weighing whether price, photos, or marketing strategy are holding the local unit back.
