Dear friends,

A new logo and a new name. Why? After nearly 4 years and 195 episodes of exclusively covering Connecticut history, we’re expanding our reach to locations outside the state. We’ll still cover Connecticut stories. The format remains the same. Just more territory to contribute amazing tales about history. See you every Thursday for a new episode!

Thanks for listening.

Mike Allen

You can hear past episodes of Amazing Tales on radio stations: (1) WICC, Bridgeport (Sundays at 6:00 p.m.); (2) WWUH, Hartford (Sundays at 4:30 p.m.); and WAPJ, Torrington (Mondays at 10:00 a.m.)

On Amazing Tales this week … 12 avenues and 155 cross-streets - NY City’s street grid. It took nearly a century to implement, and no one knows whose idea it was!

Amazing Tales is hosted by Mike Allen, retired journalist and noted story-teller.
