The main commercial corridor where shops, the community center, and local businesses cluster. Lots of foot traffic and transit stops mean items get turned in to nearby merchants or the Sheriff's Office.
Colony Road & Neighborhood Centers
Residential and community gathering spots, including the Wilton Community Center. Lost items here often end up with local residents or at the center itself.
