Bucks Hill, Waterbury, CT Is Larger Than I Thought...

Bucks Hill has always been, in my opinion, one of the nicer neighborhoods in Waterbury.

Apparently, its residents think so too, as bright cheery banners have graced the main artery of the neighborhood, North Main Street, starting past Perkins Avenue, welcoming all to Bucks Hill...

WAIT a minute...doesn't Bucks Hill start at the junction of Bucks Hill Road and North Main Street????

I guess not. That means a better market report, and a revised neighborhood profile and map are in the works...stay tuned...

P.S. I have to take some pictures of those banners...they really do stand out and are a great addition to the neighborhood.
