Great shot! One of my favorite places to take pictures of weather

That's beautiful Carol! I'm surrounded by land so this is so great to see!

Reagan's quote is from the 1988 GOP convention that 'facts are stupid things'...John Adams made theRead More original quote.

I hope people note how these comments go. Anonymous right-wingers try to change the discussion,Read More prove a point that no one is arguing, and then declare victory. Both "Goodie Bassett" and "Reagan Night" say Ms. Daponte is lying because Tony Smith won't be removed from office. I just re-read Beth's piece to see where she made this claim, but she never said anything of the sort. What she did say was "Both Tony and Linda serve until January 1, 2016." So, where's the "half-truth"? The point of the post is that the new land use District II, comprised of the 3rd & 4th council districts, has no representation on any of these boards. Tony Smith will be the District II Zoning Commissioner, even though he doesn't live in that district. The extreme right can't defend this, so they try to change the subject.

Isn't it odd that the half truths are written by people that won't sigh their real name but theRead More Democrats sign theirs. Huh, guess they don't want to be held accountable for their inuendo's and false acusations.

If the worst thing against Mayor Harkins is the lack of allowance of golf carts on the streets ofRead More Lordship then he's doing pretty well.
Mike Reynolds June 10, 2013 at 10:25 pm
Robert Chambers...a voice of reason in Lordship.

What a wonderful town we live in that the only problem we have worthwhile to discuss is golf cartsRead More driving down the street! WHO CARES? I have kids riding their go carts and mini bikes around our neighborhood. They learn how to fix them and have some fun which doen't include stealing or damaging my property. Actually I enjoy helping them and occasionally lend them a tool or two. The parents make them be considerate by not allowing them to ride around early morning or late evenings. SO WHO CARES! I guess you will want to stop all the people at Oronoque condos from driving across the road up there too? Hey..on the road is on the road. Again, WHO CARES? Get informed and worry about a real problem facing us here in town!

I hope this was reported to the police. Every time I get behind the wheel I see at least one driverRead More doing something stupid and dangerous. We really need to crack down on careless, aggressive drivers. The next time this tow truck driver hits something, it could be a pedestrian - a child! I certainly hope this driver gets caught.
Shirley B. Backus June 1, 2013 at 11:52 pm
Odd how some people cannot stand the look of nature in its natural state! Let the grass grow. It'sRead More not doing any harm, and it's good for the environment. Besides, the public works department, the legislators, and my tax dollars have better things to do.
M.Hulton May 28, 2013 at 07:43 am
It is an eyesore,not fair to the taxpayers of Stratford and esp. not fair to the business owners whoRead More keep their property pristine. The owner should be fined.
Doug Pregman May 30, 2013 at 09:23 am
Taco Bell is NOT the answer. Why add another chain shop to the area. Why try to bring in a lowRead More class place like that!? I don't get it. If a nicer structure goes up, you will get nicer results. I say a nice facade building matching the area architecture and housing a restaurant or other approachable business would be nice.
Sheffie June 2, 2013 at 06:40 pm
I don't think Taco Bell is low class, but please don't put another italian/pizza shop or chineseRead More restaurant there. We have enough and very few of them are worth a visit.

Thanks....I should have talked about the 1/2 marathon though.

Oops, wrong string, sorry.

Update from Lake Compounce: Due to the significant likelihood of thunderstorms and lightning theRead More entire time we would be open which would cause us to close rides, Lake Compounce will not be opening today, Saturday, May 11th. We will open tomorrow, May 12, at 11am. So sorry for the inconvenience.

You are kidding right? DEEP killed the lobster industry by using insecticides in trying to thwartRead More West Nile virus that also killed - killed - lobsters. Lobsters take 5-7 years to get to 1 pound, crabs are mature after 1 year.
Cool May 12, 2013 at 08:35 pm
Thanks for this article. What a fun idea to go crabbing. Can you recommend any crabbing locationRead More that would be accessible by the public? I'm afraid I'm from an inland CT town and know very little about the waterfront in our fair state.
The Maritime Aquarium May 13, 2013 at 03:17 pm
Any public dock that gets you out over the water a bit. Looking at Norwalk, maybe the one outsideRead More our IMAX theater, or at the Visitor Dock on the other side of the drawbridge. Perhaps the little bridges to Bell Island (in Rowayton) or Canfield Island (east of Calf Pasture Beach), but parking is an issue there. Not sure where you are, but here's a website that tells you all public beach access points in CT: www.lisrc.uconn.edu/coastalaccess/searchtown.asp
leslie english May 13, 2013 at 12:55 pm
Actually, Lake Compounce in Bristol, CT is generally recognized as the "oldest and longestRead More running amusement park in the United State" http://www.americasbestonline.net/index.php/pages/amusementparkoldest.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusement_park http://www.offbeattravel.com/old.html
Thomas A Fatone May 13, 2013 at 01:28 pm
Leslie, you are correct and thank you. I seemed to have gotten my amusement parks confused. ThankRead More you...:)

This article leaves out one of the most important risk factors - having dense breast tissue! NotRead More that the dense quality causes the disease, but the fact that mammograms often come back "normal" when they are not! Every woman should know (it is her legal right) her breast density number. Please go to: http://www.areyoudenseadvocacy.org/ I personally know 3 people that were told they were all normal. They pushed for further tests (ultrasound and MRI) and found they had stage 3.
Griffin Hospital May 3, 2013 at 12:34 pm
Thank you very much for the comment Susan. You are absolutely correct and dense breast tissue willRead More be discussed at this talk.
