Places for teens to hang out—all-ages music venues, community centers, diners. There’s a lot of activities around for little kids, but not for teens.

If you take something frequently and consistently, you should sign up for mail order anyway. If you use cvs Caremark it’s very easy to refill through the app.

I regularly walk from downtown to Glenbrook after 8 pm and haven’t had any problems other than cars not checking for pedestrians.

As I said, not much of that either. Way below the state average in race/ethnicity diversity. Some Greenwich elementary schools have no Black students at all.

Stats? Or is this just an assumption?

You’re kidding, right? Greenwich schools are well under the CT state average for poor kids and minority kids. They like to point out how diverse they are, but you’re mostly going to school with other rich kids. If that’s diversity to you, have at it.

Stamford schools are not bad AT ALL. My two kids went through (district, not magnet) and are now quite successful 20-somethings, living in their own apartments, with their own jobs. The thing I always ask parents is this: How good was YOUR elementary school? Do you even know? Do you think it mattered? (Answer: it didn’t. It’s elementary school.) Pick the place you want to live based on the place you want to live. Your kids will become the people they will become based on YOU and your family life, not the place where they learn how to do long division.

Think about the lifestyle you will have if your kids go to your local, district school. My kids walked to elementary, middle, AND high school. Imagine the hours we saved because of that! Their friends could walk home with them and come over after school. I would see their friends’ parents in the supermarket. I didn’t have to drive them everywhere. Stamford High is close enough to downtown that high schoolers can walk to a job after school. Living near a city bus stop or train stop will give your children a welcome taste of independence.

Middling test scores doesn’t mean that YOUR child’s test scores will be middling—any more than going to school with poor children will make your child poor.

Does anyone really think the teachers in Darien and New Canaan are somehow better than the teachers in Stamford? Teachers are teachers—there’s good ones and unfortunately bad ones in every district. There’s no magic to high test scores other than high real estate values. If you like what Stamford has to offer, you’ll be happy in our schools. Welcome!

Not only did he put two obnoxiously huge signs in Hope Street Park, but he drove around one of those billboard trucks—gross. No need to pollute the environment, Abraham. You could’ve just talked to the Advocate or the League of Women Voters to get your views out there. But you chose to ignore both. So glad Blumenthal won.

Fixit Stamford is where issues go to die.

Advanced Radiology on East Main is legit one third the price of any procedures offered at Tully/Stamford Hospital. It was explained to me that hospitals charge a huge premium just because the procedure or imaging is done at the hospital building. I haven’t been overcharged with mammograms at Darien Imaging (also through Stamford Health) but anything expensive like an MRI, I go to Advanced Radiology.
