Heading to Connecticut tomorrow, any good shops I should know about?

STONE

Specifically I will be in Storrs interviewing for Grad School at UConn, but Storrs is only a short distance from Hartford and other parts of the state.
I will have 1 day basically free to explore the area, so if there's any good shops I might pass please let me know

Thanks

I didn't know that areas of Connecticut outside of Fairfield County existed.

You probably won't have time to get to Westport, CT, but Sam Sloat Coins is worth the trip. Rumor has it Longacre is fairly close by.

Also, if you're into the rock 'n roll sort of thing, stop by and see Keith Richards from the Stones, which is seconds from Longacre: map

There used to be a very active coin club in that area, back in the early 1990s when I was a UConn student, I have no idea how it is now. They do still throw a nice show in nearby Willimantic every March, should that influence your decision on a school. As far as coin shops, there used to be a guy with a small storefront in downtown Willimantic but that was almost 20 years ago. If he's still there, tell Jeff I said hello.
