Why I love Simsbury: I always liked living in a “rural” town. I grew up in Bloomfield and when we moved there, our house was in the middle of a cow pasture. As time went on, development took over the pasture and became suburban housing. I love that Simsbury has been able to retain its small town atmosphere and charm.
Fun Fact: When we moved to Simsbury, one of my neighbors started calling me the “Car Guy” since I was always working on cars. The handle stuck as part of my appraisal business. If you see cars with the license plate “CARGUY” or “CARGUY1”, that’s me!
