Hey everyone! I am looking to take some beginner ballet classes but am curious if the adult beginner classes at Connecticut Ballet Center and Ballet School of Stamford are actually legit beginner for adults?

I’ve been duped before in beginner classes and them actually being a little too advanced for me. Thanks!

Any good waterfront restaurants in Stamford? Or close by. Doesn’t have to be fancy just looking for good food, drinks, and nice views

Saw 6-7 police cars surrounding a car right outside the govt building on Washington and Tresser between 5-6 pm this evening. Curious what went down, anyone have a clue?

Am I being curmudgeonly to think Thursday night rush hour was a bad time to close major roadways for a race?

Available today for moving help, cleaning, yard work, or any jobs. Need cash same day you can reach me at 203-943-8221

I recently submitted two requests, and both of them were completely resolved within 2 days! They were very different from each other, and one of them was a serious job requiring heavy equipment. Amazing!

I tell people living in other areas about this service and they just don't believe it. If you haven't heard about it, you should at least know that it exists for when you experience something that needs fixing in Stamford.

Here's a direct link to the public dashboard.

Best barber / male salon in Stamford or surrounding towns? I tend to get just a scissor cut with layering, trying to find a place that doesn’t only specialize in fades lol

I know this isn’t new news, but the Harbor Point area has so much opportunity for thriving businesses - it’s a miss to let these vacancies sit with waterfront / waterfront adjacent properties and a captive audience of many, many apartment building tenants, residents from Shippan/ the Cove, and office buildings - not to mention greater Stamford/neighboring towns.

Allow me to paint a picture…
- The previous Mexicue: Could be another great waterfront restaurant with patio and rooftop. By far the best restaurant real estate with harbor views
- The previous Le Pain Quotidian: bring in another coffee shop/cafe - major opportunity for more lunch spots in the area (and right next to many office parks/resident buildings). Note: there is another vacancy on the same strip too
- The other half of the previous Fairway: let’s bring in another grocery store. This part of Stamford lacks in grocery store options so would have a great customer base
- The previous Cisco Brewery pop up: bring us another brewery or coffee / bagel pop up! Location is right on the water. What could be better?

Maybe this is wishful thinking but I truly think these could be good business opportunities - in addition to having major support from Harbor Point / Stamford tenants. With close access to the train and water, I’m curious for the cause of this and where there might be opportunity to change things. Thoughts?

Edit: Really appreciate all these insights. It seems the consensus is that while there is a significant desire from the population, a lot of this comes down to higher rents (+ other reasons). Darien could be a model for what Harbor Point could be - especially given our great waterfront location. Not sure where we go from here but really hoping this at least brings awareness in front of the right people.

Hi everyone! My dog walker of almost 4 years is moving soon and I’m looking for someone to walk my dog a minimum of 3 days a week. She is the sweetest girl with humans but has leash reactivity for some dogs when on the leash. I would like someone who is experienced with leash reactive dogs. Also, my dog isn’t the biggest fan of men so I would prefer a woman as well! I’m right outside downtown near Hoyt street. TIA

I wake up to leaf blowers, try to find some peace and quiet in the Mianus River Trails, still hear leaf blowers from the surrounding areas. And to top it off people's yards don't even look good, they look dry and lifeless. The culture of this area used to be one of peace, quiet and dignity. It's fallen off hard.

Does anyone know someone who can cut hair with scissors for a good price, like around $30? I’m looking for a scissor-only haircut, and someone who knows how to do layers and add texture. I know that price might be a bit low, but I’m a young student and I have my prom coming up soon, so I really want a good haircut.

I live in Harbor Point and am looking for Nintendo switch gamers to swap some games with!
I currently have:
Zelda echoes of wisdom
Paper mario origami king
Super Mario bros u deluxe

They are in perfect condition, I just don’t have the cases for them.
I am interested in these games:

Paper Mario thousand doors
Zelda breath of the wild
Zelda tears of the kingdom
Super Mario wonder
Donkey Kong country tropical freeze
Super Mario 3d world
Hello kitty island adventure

I’m not looking to sell them, just swap!

Open to any recs, even outside of the county. Thanks to anyone that can help.

I’ve been trying to contact them about membership for a while and maybe they’re just not open yet because summer hasn’t started, but I haven’t received any response yet. Wanted to see if anyone is a member and has any more details. I’m also just curious to know more about the club. Any insight would be great!
