“Portal” is a new sneaker and streetwear store that recently opened in the Shops at Mohegan Sun.
MONTVILLE, Conn. — Nikes, Air Jordans, Yeezys, and plenty of Pumas; “Portal” is a new sneaker and streetwear store that opened in the Shops at Mohegan Sun just one month ago.
For owner and founder Chris Blomstedt, Portal is a gateway to a passion shared by many – the love of collectible shoes.
“We are all about celebrating all the achievements within the sneaker and streetwear space over the past couple of decades,” said Blomstedt, from Ledyard.

While some shoe prices hover from $100 to the $150 range, the hard-to-find low and high tops fetch top dollar, with no shortage of tags in the $300 and $400 dollar range. Blomstedt has a coveted pair of Yeezys on display (locked behind glass) that he estimated a price tag of $10,000. But, for now, they’re only on display.

Blomstedt said the Christmas season was a busy one for the team at Portal, and now that January has arrived and the omicron variant of COVID-19 has created more issues for businesses, he hopes that people are willing to come out and support small shops like his.
“We are just trying to blend the legacy products as well as the more trendy items,” Blomstedt said, and later added, “We want to share our passion with as many people as possible.”
Portal is open seven days a week at the Shops at Mohegan Sun. To learn more go to portalonline.store or on Instagram @portal.ig

RHODE ISLAND, January 4 – Beginning Friday, January 14, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is scheduled to close the Mohegan Bridge, which carries Route 102 (Bronco Highway) over the Branch River in Burrillville.
RIDOT began replacing this structurally deficient bridge in spring 2021, and detoured Route 102 northbound traffic. Closing the bridge entirely will allow construction to move ahead efficiently and safely with work on the northbound half of the bridge finishing in late spring/early summer 2022 before work begins on the southbound half of the bridge.
During the closure, RIDOT will sign a recommended detour for both northbound and southbound traffic using Douglas Turnpike (Route 7), Victory Highway and East Avenue. A detour map is available at www.ridot.net/DetourMaps. Temporary traffic signals will be put in place along the detour route to assist motorists.
In addition to replacing the bridge, the $10.6 million contract includes resurfacing Route 102 at the bridge and its approaches, including its intersection with Route 7. New guardrail, signing, striping and drainage improvements will also be installed as part of the project. The bridge carries about 15,200 vehicles per day. The project will be done in spring 2023.
All construction projects are subject to changes in schedule and scope depending on needs, circumstances, findings, and weather.
The replacement of the Mohegan Bridge is made possible by RhodeWorks, RIDOT’s ongoing commitment to repair structurally deficient bridges and bring Rhode Island’s transportation infrastructure into a state of good repair, promote economic development, and create jobs. Learn more at www.ridot.net/RhodeWorks.

More than a half a century ago I would walk up to Spaulding Pond for either fishing or swimming with my good friend Jimmy. I lived on Spaulding Street, at that time, in a two-family Victorian home with my parents and two sisters.
Well, Jimmy and I would walk up to Warren Street and finally reach the entrance to Mohegan Park very near to the Rose Garden. We’d then begin our fun exploration of the old path through the forest following the blue painted slashed trail markers to Mohegan Park Road and cross over to the Ice Pond where in my father’s youth he broke his right leg skating too close and fell in where the ice men were cutting ice for the “ice house.”
Our trip to “the park,” as we called it, took us along a stream with its towering trees, rock outcropping, green understory, and aquatic life. We’d enter the park center from the trail just below the rose arbored dam where there were ducks swimming in a small pond carousing, to our delight, and then travel along the park roads to Bullhead Rock to fish or swim depending on the weather.
Now, well over 60 years later, the memories are getting a bit cloudy or maybe enhanced by my hyped imagination of good times past. Now, as a senior citizen, I see a beautiful park where you can enjoy swimming in season, fishing, baseball and tennis or a healthy walk or jog.
It’s also enjoyable to just observe the flora and fauna from the trails or the seven miles of paved roads.
Through private donations, the land of Mohegan Park has grown to over 380 acres between 1907 and the present time. The park center was established in 1907….
