And the Winner Is . . .

by Allan Appel | Dec 20, 2005 2:50 pm

by Melinda Tuhus | Dec 20, 2005 11:53 am

New Havener Mimi Chapnick was on the 7:51 a.m. Metro-North train today out of Union Station, heading to New York City. She works as a chiropractor in Manhattan, just a few blocks from where the train ride ends. “I’m lucky enough to just get out at Grand Central and walk—thank God,” she said.
