Anyone know if we’ll get power back tonight? I’ve been without power for almost an hour now and it’s by far the longest we’ve ever experienced! Hoping the storm didn’t cause too much damage!

Anyone else in the SNEW service area have any power rn? Did some firework hit a transformer or something?

Hey yall! Im a beginner (know a very base level of the sport) looking to get into some pick up games or maybe something more structured, but i would preferably like to find a group that plays casually that i can meet new people, learn and grow, and get out and play!

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!

I just noticed the Crunch Gym location across from Costco looked vacant. I checked the website and it is not listed anymore.

Anyone know when Crunch closed?

Hi friends! I just moved to the area and am in need for a hair dresser that likes to cut/style long hair. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Preferably one where they can do some level of interior detail or at least has vacuums customers can use.

Other than speaking to the front desk person, I received absolutely no notice that this was happening. No email from Crunch or Stir Fit Lab. And the front desk person told me that all crunch members of this club are automatically converting Stir Fir Lab members. So I’m suddenly signed up for a gym I don’t want to be part of?

I think this is kind of crazy. Stir Fit is honoring the crunch membership price until the end of the year and then we’ll be charged the regular amount. Again, this info has only been verbally confirmed by the desk person.

I’m being asked to create a Stir Fit Lab account and I don’t want to because I’m not planning on staying after the year is over.

I’ve had so many issues with crunch raising my membership price over the years without any email notice. I had the manager grandfather me in for a few months at my original low rate only for it to go back to the current rate and when I called, the new manager told me that the old manager who did this for me shouldn’t have done that and that he’s no longer here. Again, no notice whatsoever.

I don’t trust these companies. Is everyone okay with this? I just know trying to candle my membership at the end of the year is going to be a huge hassle.

New D&D Group - Norwalk, CT

Hey everyone! DM here, I've been playing D&D for a long time, mostly 5e (10-15 years), and I've been a DM specifically for 15 years / 6 campaigns.

I'm looking to start a local group in Norwalk, CT. I've done online campaigns for quite some time, but in person is ideal for many reasons, including player compatibility, better improv sessions, and more direct feedback.

If you're interested--be you a new player or experienced--let's chat! Again, no worries if you're new; I'm happy to teach everything you need to know. We'll figure out the campaign, characters, and schedule together so everyone has a chance to help shape the adventure.

I have all the books in digital form (but feel free to bring your own!) and a buttload of dice.

Minimum age is 21, please.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, send me a DM with a little bio and let me know what your ideal D&D session would be.

Cheers!

Hello,
I’m looking for a good, reputable, licensed and insured general contractor for work in a new home in Waterbury. I’ve reached out to 6-7, and they either didn’t get back to me, or were not licensed/insured. We will be using a 203(k) - FHA loan, and will need the contractor to complete some of the needed documentation.

We are looking to get the following done:

1. Vinyl Floors in two bedrooms
2. Painting throughout interior
3. Finish basement with vinyl flooring, outlets for tv and entertainment area with possible Bathroom and closet.
4. Privacy Fence in backyard
5. Hang doors to close off room on main floor
6. Gas line from propane tank to stove

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just learned that kindergartners in Norwalk are issued iPads and then Chromebooks as they get older.

This seems wild to me. I am not anti tech but why is this necessary at this young age? Does anybody have any more information how the ipads are used and how often?

Thanks so much!

Apparently Wallet Hub doesn’t think the I-95 corridor is a scenic by-way.

Just wondering if there are any events in Norwalk, or neighboring towns for the fourth for my 2 year old. We still think she’s too young for fireworks, and she’s sensitive to loud sounds.
Any suggestions are welcome!

I refuse to sit it traffic for nearly two hours again this year on Calf Pasture Rd. I know a whole bunch of people take their bikes but I live a few miles away and don’t wanna take the risk after dark and so many people impaired on the road afterwards. Trying to think of a workaround, maybe parking at the train station then biking there? If anyone has any ideas or tips it’d be greatly appreciated :)
