Saw via Ring neighborhood chatter there is a water main break at High Ridge//Merritt Parkway. Aquarion site not reporting it yet.

Been to a ton of stores in the area and cannot find it anywhere.

Anyone with an outage yesterday who has power restored? I am looking at the outage map and there are hundreds of outages none with an estimated time of restoration. Anyone have any sense of extent of damage and progress overnight?

Hey everyone, I just recently moved into Stamford to stay with family that live here. And I am looking for places to go to meet some people my age range (28).

Im not much of a party/club type l. I’m not opposed to it if I’m places with people I know but alone I get nervous.

My hobbies are I love tabletop games and card games. I’m also into anything to do with the arts.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Anything is welcome as I said I’m new to the area so I don’t really know anything here.

My husband and I are moving to Stamford from NYC in a a few weeks. We have had bad experiences with some of the NYC moving companies (Piece of Cake, Dumbo) in the past. Does anyone have a moving company that

Does anyone know if anything is open tonight? :)

anyone else's optimum internet not working? it was out when i left for work at 3:30am. tried restarting/unplugging/re-plugging everything. i checked and my account status is up to date.

i'm in the glenbrook area. is it just me? 🤔

so just found out the fireworks on july 2 was not the trial run! where are some good spots to go to today? down to go as far as manhattan

Anyone know where to find one around here?

This might sound a little silly.
I’ve lived in Stamford for about 5 years now coming from NYC, but because of my husband’s work and both our families living in the city we have spent more time in the city than exploring our own city here. We’re a young couple with two kids and I’m currently not working while caring for our 7 month old. I wanted to enroll into the Italian Center here in Stamford because the amenities seem amazing! I wanted to know is it diverse? From their IG I couldn’t really tell and unfortunately as much as I hate being concerned where I can put my child and not get treated differently because he’s dark skin, we have had those experiences and again before making such an expensive commitment I wanted to know if anyone has any reviews while being a current member or just have any knowledge at all?

Again, I feel so silly to ask about this because of race but I just don’t want any repeats of bad experiences.

Looking for somewhere to be surrounded by Mexicans and have good atmosphere

Wondering where will be best between the likes of:

Bobby V’s
Cantina Mexicana
Noches de Colombia

Etc

Open to all suggestions, thanks!

Upcoming In-Street Work
Monday, July 6 - Saturday, July 11

Crews will begin work on Strawberry Hill Avenue (between Colonial Road and Holbrook Drive) to facilitate the installation of two underground vaults. During the week, traffic will operate under an alternating lane pattern Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to the size and depth of the vault excavations and crane installation, a Saturday detour will be required. Additional information about this detour will be provided once available.

Crews will continue work on Vine Road (near Barmore Drive) to facilitate the installation of two underground vaults. During the week, traffic will operate under an alternating lane pattern Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Due to the size and depth of the vault excavations and crane installation, a portion of Vine Road between Barmore Drive and Pamlynn Road will be closed Saturday, July 11th from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to allow for crane placement, splice vault delivery, duct bank installation, and setting the vault within the excavation. While the detour is active, only local traffic will be allowed to access areas within the detour.

In support of the ongoing construction activities this week, Aquarion will be continuing water pipeline relocations on Newfield Avenue (between Sanford Lane and Case Road) and Colonial Road. Traffic will operate under an alternating lane pattern at both locations Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Additionally, we will be actively working on the following streets, excavating as part of the underground duct bank installation process:
• Colonial Road between Strawberry Hill Avenue and Pilgrim Walk
• Vine Road between Pepper Ridge Road and High Ridge Road
• Scofield Avenue between Hope Street and Glenbrook Road

This work will take place Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Traffic will operate under an alternating lane pattern.

*All residents will have access to their homes and businesses*

Please follow local traffic signage and obey posted speed limits. All traffic plans are subject to the discretion of the Stamford Police Department.

Hi everyone,

I’m moving a few things from Stamford to Norwalk (about a 20 min drive) and I’m trying to figure out the cheapest option for a truck rental.

It’s not a huge move, mostly a couch, bed, and some boxes, so I don’t need anything big or for a long time. Probably just a few hours or same day rental.

Has anyone done a short local move like this recently? What ended up being the cheapest option for you — U-Haul, Home Depot truck, Penske, or something else?

Also open to any tips to save money (hourly rentals, mileage fees, timing, etc.).

Thanks in advance!
