Moved to Willimantic/Windham 15 yrs ago, after living in Storrs/Mansfield about 25 years. Graduated from UConn, stayed because I liked the semi-rural area. Rarely went to Willimantic, with an image of being overrun with prostitutes, drug dealers and mentally-ill homeless people. Economic circumstances moved me to an apt. in one of the iffier neighborhoods in this "little city." First day, someone steals my license plates. Few days later, going out to walk my dog, street is ringed with yellow tape and several police cars. Officer says a man stabbed his neighbor in the head. Great start! Then I get to know the larger community -- arts magnet school, July 4th Boom Box Parade, street fests, food co-op, niche restaurants, East Coast Greenway, farmers market, the "Frog Bridge," Garden on the Bridge, huge community garden, yoga center, everything walking distance/or by bus, nearby Aldi's, a diverse caring community. And now, a senior/community center under construction. I like it here!
Windham is just an ordinary small town. Because of its size, you don't need to travel very far to reach a grocery store, or even if you're looking for a bite to eat, which I really like. Theres also a mall close by which doesn't have many stores but it's nice to have in case you need any last minute items. Overall I think Windham is a nice calm town with really everything you need relatively close by.
Windham/Willimantic, Connecticut is a small-town deep in the Quiet Corner of our small state. People say that not a lot happens here, but that is simply not true. If you go into Willimantic, the city village of Windham, you will find some of the most hopping resteraunts in our state, including the Willimantic Brewery, Cafemantic, and Thread City Diner, all within walking distance of each other. Cafemantic was awarded the Revitalization Award back in 2010 by the local chamber of commerce.
Along with Great food, Willimantic sports the Capitol Theater, the old fashioned vaudeville theater gone Performing Arts Magnet High School, recognized statewide for their award winning Public Service Announcements for the DMV Teen Safe Driving Contest, and recognized nationwide for their work in Creative Writing in the Scholastic Art and Writing Contests. Dancers from the school also perform on the town's big summer hit Third Thursday, or Street Fest, where businesses open their doors to the community to advertise their products. All in all, Windham/Willimantic is a small jewel in the quiet corner, and more and more happens each passing year.
