The GCDS Schwarz Campus is 41.5 acres in the RA-1 zone and the school does not receive any FAR bonus for educational use. The Schwarz Campus at 23 Fairfield Road was originally part of the F.A.O. Schwarz estate, which goes all the way to Cardinal Road. Even if the school added the requested units, they would still have remaining FAR, but the discussion revolved around the proposed multi-family apartment building in the RA-1 single family zone.
Ryan Fazio won the Connecticut GOP nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Governor Ned Lamont. Republicans rallied behind Fazio after New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart suspended her campaign following news of her alleged misuse of a city issued p-card, and Betsy McCaughey dropped out of the race after failing to secure enough delegates to force a primary. Democratic Governor Ned Lamont is seeking a historic third consecutive term. Both Senator Fazio and Governor Lamont call Greenwich home.

Houseplants are good for our health, particularly in winter. They add humidity to the air and counteract some pollutants. Houseplants and cut flowers also provide welcome green and color to lift the spirits. Equally important to our wellbeing are our companion animals; their presence can help us overcome ills ranging from high blood pressure to depression. I have, though, heard people say that you can’t have both plants and pets. Continue Reading →

Just in time. A new traffic signal at intersection of Rt 1, Indian Field Rd and Stanwich Rd. should keep traffic moving and prevent accidents. Credit: Leslie YagerI’m not sure how long this sign has been up, but in my opinion it’s exactly what was needed at the busy intersection. I can’t imagine how many times a westbound driver on Rt 1 held up traffic waiting to turn left onto Indian Field Rd, presumably en route to I-95, only go hold up traffic on Rt 1, or worse, get stuck directly under the traffic light after the light turns red.

My mother lived for many years in Morocco and once told me that Moroccans eat this red lentil soup to ward off the chill of the desert night. Given the weather we’ve been experiencing I think that we all need a delicious soup to ward off the chill, warm our tummies and feel all warm & fuzzy toward our loved ones. You can make my Moroccan Red Lentil Soup one day in advance and keep in the refrigerator overnight. If you’re adding any garnish then add at the moment of serving. INGREDIENTS
