La
Fruta Margarita

CTNow.com – May 7, 2007

The Southington Citizen – January 29, 2007
Southington has never been known as a “trendy” type of
town, but it appears the first steps toward attaining that reputation
have been taken with the Agave Grill and Tequila Bar set to join Star
bucks Coffee on Queen Street. Southington resident Mike Hamlin and
