Hello Guilford Courier readers,

This is Aaron Rubin, the reporter for the Guilford Courier paper. It has just been announced that Church Street was voted Connecticut's Most 'Picture Perfect' Street. (https://www.newjerseyrealestatenetwork.com/blog/most-beautiful-streets-usa/). This recognition is the result of a survey conducted by the New Jersey Real Estate Network, who gathered the opinions of over 3,000 real estate agents to discover which streets in the United States have the most desirable "curb appeal" - whether it has to do with landscaping, seasonal decorations, or picture-perfect keep up. We at the Guilford Courier consider this to be a wonderful opportunity to speak with residents and business owners who live and work on Church Street that would like to provide a quote or two in an article centering around this national recognition. We are curious to know from you about what makes the neighborhoods along Church Street a wonderful place to live and/or raise a family, a good place to do business, what makes you proud live and work there, and why you wanted to live and work there in the first place. If there is a reason why Church Street is being celebrated, we are sure its residents and business owners will be the first to tell us.

If you are one of those residents or businesses owners who would like to provide a quote or two for this article, please write to me at [email protected].
