Cap'n Kidd Treasure Hunt (free and open to the public) Sunday June 10 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Downtown Milford

For over 300 years, people of all ages have searched for Captain Kidd's treasure. Join Captain Kidd and his crew as they sail into Milford Harbor, kidnap Mayor Blake and "take over" downtown Milford on Sunday, June 10th from noon to 5 pm.  Come dressed as a pirate and be a part of Connecticut's best and largest scavenger hunt! 

Participants will pick a downtown treasure map and a booty bag, follow the clues listed on the map and fill up your booty bags with treasures galore. Here's a clue…Only the places displaying Pirate Flags will have the booty you seek!  While you are collecting your booty, look out for the Black Pearl as she makes her way through downtown.  The Pirates of Las Tortoga will pillage and plunder and cause mayhem.  There is even heard tell of a duel between the Las Tortoga Pirates and the Black Flag Crue.

Be sure to stop by the Gazebo on the Green to listen to live, local bands, and take a gander at Captain Hook as he looks for more crew members.  Put on your best pirate garb and join Captain Kidd and Captain Hook for the first ever pirate parade. The parade will start at the gazebo and Captain Kidd will be judging for the best in show pirate.

Milford's Unsolved Murders

By NJM -
After the June 11 arrest of Luis A. Rodriguez for the 2001 murder of Walnut Beach resident Kelsey Monahon, I got curious about other long-term unsolved homicides in Milford. So, I began digging through the New Haven Register's archives; I looked at all the murders in Milford that we have on record (dating back to the 1940s) and I came up with a list of 9* unfortunate souls whose murders are unsolved. Here are all the ones I could find in chronological order: -Peter Spinelli (1996) -Unidentified male remains (1994) -Unidentified male remains (1992) -Anna E. Hiltz (1983)** -Constance Roberts (1982)  -Blasé Miserendino (1978) -Gary Steadman (1977) -Kenneth Matteson (1975) -Charles McCoy (1968) Sometimes, homicides take a long, long time to solve. And sometimes, after a while, people come out of the woodwork with some scrap of evidence or memory that helps close a decades-old crime. I'm still working on the story, but I wanted to reach out to the Milf

A staggering 384 respondents wants a Stew Leonard's dairy store or 84 percent, followed by 35 or 8 percent for open space, then mixed use with 24 responses, followed by a stripmall with 8, and a supermarket with just 5 responses.

Just 9 percent of respondents said a mixed-use development, followed closed by open s

Milford theater site sold; what do you think should go there?

By -
Milford reporter Rich Scinto needs your help for a story he is working on today. At an Economic Development Commission meeting this morning it was revealed that the former Milford Showcase Cinemas site sold for more than $5 million. But the $5 million question concerns what will be going there. As Milford residents what do you think should occupy the former theater site on Cherry Street? Post your comments here or email Rich at rscinto@newhavenregister.com Here is what we have thus far. MILFORD—The vacant National Amusements Theater on Cherry Street has sold to Cerruzzi Properties LLC. The property was sold on June 12 for $5.8 million. It had been vacant for six years after National Amusements moved its location inside the Connecticut Post Mall.   Cerruzzi Properties has a good history of developing properties in Milford, said Robert Burr Gregory, director of economic and community development for Milford. “We do not expect that property to remain empty or vacant for lo
