I jumped out of my car to say hello to the new owner of the Cherico house on Edgewood Drive in Greenwich. The Chericos had a massive tree fall on the house in Hurricane Sandy, but the new owner restored the house to its original charm and kept the remaining historic tree in the side yard, which made my day.
