Asked a few more questions if I need to drop them off or will they do them there. She mentioned $7.00 and they will sharpen them while I wait. Showed up today, and she is hanging with her with two young guy friends. They mention that they do not sharpen skates, but will soon. ????? What? How is that suppose to help me now? They did mention that Gateway hardware does sharpen skates, and is a 5 minute drive down the road. They gave me directions and basically ended up on RT 20. Now googling the address for Gateway Hardware, it is in West Springfield, a 20 minute drive and in the opposite direction. I am sure they had a blast messing with me.

The Cove Warehouse Museum still stands today and is open seasonally to the public. There is the heritage trail that runs through it, a boat ramp, rocky beach, picnic tables, porta potty, and a huge parking lot. As far as beach goes, I wouldn't advise swimming in it because of a huge sewage leak back in the 1990s. It is a beautiful spot to walk, picnic, and just enjoy the vista. I'm sure it's fun to go boating on it too. Overall, a nice little neighborhood park with tons of history.

This little hidden spot is a gem if you're looking to get away from the busy life. It is peaceful,…read morewith manicured grass, a little stream of the Connecticut River, and some geese staying cool in the water. It is super easy to access, just an easy drive down the road from Old Wethersfield and past the dreaded DMV. You can bring your lunch here and have it on the bench. Be sure to dispose of your litter in the trash can. There was a very kind older gentleman who was working to pick up the litter of the ground, he said "it gives me something to do". There's no reason for this, as there's a substantial amount of trash cans. This is a nice place to go on a boat ride down the Connecticut River, and to try to catch some fish. The Wethersfield Cove is a beautiful place to rest your mind and your eyes.
