I recently learned that the rumors of last spring were true. Mayor Caroline Simmons pulled her kids out of Stamford Public Schools and enrolled them in Greenwich Country Day, a school that costs over $50k a year.

What does this say when our own Mayor pulls her kids out of our public schools? They were in a magnet school (Rogers) that pulled partially from Shippan, one of Stamford’s wealthiest neighborhoods. Was the problem that poor kids also attended?

The last several Mayors had their kids in Stamford Public Schools, and not just for a short stint either. David Martin, Mike Pavia, and Dan Malloy all had their kids in SPS for years. I can’t help but think that having her one son at SPS for K & 1 was nothing more than a political move to guarantee her re-election in 2025. It also doesn’t send the best message to parents wondering whether they should put their kids in SPS or not.

What do you think?

I have very straight and fine hair, mostly get haircuts with scissor work. Due to my white dude hair, any mistake shows tenfold. Best barber or salon in Stamford to go to?

Any local events happening then? Have a friend visiting and haven’t seen anything online yet about goings-on.

Does anyone know good teachers that are reasonably priced in the Stamford area? Acoustic guitar-looking for myself, not a child if that makes any difference. Thanks

Hey everyone!

I'm 25F and I've been wanting to meet more women in Stamford, so I thought it would be fun to start a weekly girls-only game night!

The idea is to get a group of women together for different kinds of games so that we can build bonds in a fun way.

I'd like to provide an opportunity to have fun, meet new people, and hopefully make some genuine friendships along the way.

I know making friends as an adult can feel awkward, so I figured games would be a great way to break the ice without the pressure of it all.

You don't have to be super outgoing or know anyone beforehand. This is perfect if you're coming solo cuz same sis lol.

I know there are tons of game night groups in Stamford. But I think it's possible to have the same idea but with your own twist. So this is my way of doing so.

I'm thinking that we get this started right away so that nothing fizzles out. Maybe next Tuesday or Thursday at Hop & Vine around 6:30? We can just play a couple rounds of Uno to get settled and then progress every week from there with new games.

Would anyone be down? 💕

Hey all

My fiancee is an aspiring artist and would love to have her art displayed publically in some way. Are there any galleries in Stamford or the surrounding area that let local up-and-comers display their art?

Since when did they start renovating the basketball and tennis court?

Rick Marro admitted to having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy he met online. Police found multiple videos on his phone and the teen's Snapchat.
He faces a minimum of five years and up to 20 years in prison at his sentencing.

Genuine question: what time do quiet hours begin in Stamford? For weeks now, loud construction vehicles have rumbled around a private parking lot next door between the hours of 8p-10p. As an already sleep deprived toddler parent, I need to know if this is legal? And if not, who do I contact?

Just looking for feedback, especially if you went with the intention of working on a specific project. I am aiming to sign up at the end of the month... Were the instructors helpful? Were you allowed to access the studio outside of class times? Did you feel you were adequately and safely trained in using the tools? TYIA!

Was it only me, or did the traffic light signal at Dock St and Station Pl remain red all last weekend? I had to turn right onto Atlantic Ave and then complete a U-turn. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have some books I want to put in a few little free libraries. I know their website has a map of locations near you, but does anyone know of any locations that could use teen/adult books?

My church is hosting a Trivia Night this Friday the 16th!

Anyone know what’s going on?

We were picking up food from KFC and cop cars like crazy drive by (like 7 cars), then line the road. I think they are using their drone, too. More kept coming at we left.

Anyone have any contractor recommendations for multiple small projects? Purchasing a new home and requires some electrical, plumbing, and bathroom renovations. No major project but a lot of smaller things.

Genuine question - why do so many walkers/runners at Scalzi use the bike lane instead of one of the walking paths?

Hello! I am 33 male can looking for more tennis friends to casually rally with (I would play a game but I can’t serve too well yet lol). I am an advanced beginner trying to get more playtime before the colder months come in and ideally looking to foster some more friendships at the courts for next year. If you’re at all interested please feel free to contact me (looking to play today cause it’s so nice out but open to any nice day). I usually play at scalzi but open to any courts close by.
