Your Web site on East Haddam is very interesting.
Having grown up in East Haddam, I remember talk of "redevelopment" in Moodus. It's nice to read a history on what took place. The lost of the Moodus village was a tragedy. I suppose if it had worked out properly the players would be considered visionaries instead of dupes.
Whenever I visit the town and drive through Moodus, I try not to think about what was once there. It's too heartbreaking.
School kids would go to Sam Pear's dry goods store to buy their gym clothes. It was just a short walk from school to the dentist. There was something there and it had character, and the buildings housed characters!
