Wallingford Even as many businesses around the country continue to feel the negative effects of the nearly yearlong coronavirus pandemic, a popular national home improvement company is expanding to Connecticut and opening a showroom in town.
Maryland-based Window Nation will open a showroom at 1070 North Farms Road, company officials said last week. The Wallingford office will service all of Connecticut as well southwestern Massachusetts, according to a release.
Because of the pandemic, the showroom won t be open immediately. However, consumers for now will be able to view design options virtually and take advantage of contactless installation.

WINNIPEG The Ukrainian Labour Temple in Winnipeg s North End is getting a facelift 103 years after being built. Built in 1918, the building is run by the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians and acts as a gathering place for the community. It s like an extension of my family, said Emily Halldorson, vice president of the association s Winnipeg branch. Coming here is like going to Christmas dinner or something like that. The renovations look to make the labour temple more accessible by making it easier to get to each floor and updating the bathrooms.
