Main Street. [Part 1]

This is Stonington Borough's Main Street that has now become full of boutiques and expensive places to eat. There are the usual espresso joints that should be avoided as what they pass for espresso is pathetic. As a matter of fact it's difficult to get any good coffee these days; it's all very watery. I remember when this was real place with many luncheonettes that catered  to the local Portuguese fisherman and other local residents when one could get a very nice meal at a reasonable place. Because of the inevitable gentrification, these have all been turned into expensive boutiques. We noted a dearth of people on a normal week day. Perhaps things pick up during the weekend and more into the summer months. Our visit was in middle June. Needless to say the place looked somewhat depressing. It is, nevertheless, a beautiful town worth visiting and we go there at least once a year.
