'Turnback Tuesday' highlights fan advertising The Sterling Piano Co. in Derby




Turnback Tuesday is highlighting another advertising item. This week we are sharing a recent donation of a hand fan from The Sterling Piano Co. The fan advertises not only the Sterling Co. but also the music store that sells the products made by Sterling, in this case from York, Pa.
Sterling Co. was founded by Charles Sterling in 1866. Because of their excellent workmanship Sterling Pianos were so well built there are many still in existence and played today.
Fan donated by Robert Ahearn.


Thanks to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.

City of Ansonia issues Code Red Alert, parking ban lifted


This is a Code Red Alert from the City of Ansonia. 

As of noon on Tuesday, the full parking ban has been lifted. 

The City of Ansonia will still be following the normal winter parking rules. The plowing and cleaning of streets is expected to take multiple days to complete and the State is expected to receive more snow tomorrow. 

Roadways have been narrowed due to the large amount of snow on the streets. If you have the ability, you are requested to find alternate parking and not park on the street, especially those that are narrow. 

When parking on city streets, you cannot park your vehicle if it will block other vehicles from driving on the street. Again, remember that streets have been narrowed by the multiple snow storms. 

Please follow the Board of Education for updates on school opening for Wednesday. If you are parked in a Board of Education lot, please remove your vehicle immediately so that the Board of Education can clear the lots in preparation for opening. 

Remember that residents and businesses are responsible for shoveling the sidewalks in front of their homes or businesses. Do not throw snow into the roadway. Thank you for your patience as this cleanup continues.

Thank you, City of Ansonia
