SIMSBURY, CT — Simsbury residents who want to take a trip down memory lane are in luck: WFSB's '20 Towns in 20 Days' series is taking things back to the 90s while highlighting towns throughout Connecticut, and on Monday night it featured Simsbury.

The TV station interviewed Pete Pidgeon, a California-based musician that got his start in Simsbury High School's battle of the bands in the early 1990s.

"The first club gig I ever played was Gemini's Café," Pidgeon told WFSB, referring to the restaurant that is now the Old Well Tavern.
