Good news for those in the NYC area. My local paper reports that REI has filed plans to open a store in Norwalk CT just adjacent to Exit 14 of I-95. No opening date was indicated, and obviously it would be some time off. It will be located in a former Linens 'N Things building. The street address will be 189 Connecticut Avenue (Rte 1).
There's a diner right across the street. I mention this because I always seem to want to stop at the Tom Sawyer Diner when I go to Campmor.
