I love eating outside,” said Caroline Thune, in which New Canaan resident, after the hearing performance of the news. According to the minutes of the Selectman meeting meeting, the decision was made after some retail stores were heard, which complained that the seating in the already limited space for parking was made available. Karen Christiansen, who works on sale at Sarah Campbell, said it was an important problem. “We made people say that they tried to come, but they couldn't find a parking space,” she said. While most restaurants have decided not to speak in front of the camera, those who, in particular with fewer interiors, said they need additional seats and that the advantages go beyond capacity.
