On Sunday morning, January 18, a car crashed through the front of Continental Fine Wines and Spirits at 55 William Street. The accident occurred during snowy conditions near the intersection of Church and William Streets in the Greenwich Hospital neighborhood. The building sustained a shattered display window and damaged siding. Owner Corey Fine, who took over the 1963-era business last year, addressed the accident on Instagram here with a humorous comment: "Owning a small

Our politicians seem out of touch with the concerns of law-abiding Connecticut citizens. Most citizens want safe communities and an affordable cost of living, but recently our state leaders seem more intent on obstructing federal law than addressing the needs of their own constituents. The year started with Connecticut politicians butting heads against Federal initiatives meant to clean up voter rolls, prevent welfare fraud, and enforce the deportation of illegal immigrants

The Greenwich GOP presence is becoming a significant force against Democrat Governor Ned Lamont in this year's Connecticut gubernatorial race. The neighborhood battle for Governor: Ryan Fazio (CT State Senator). State Senator Ryan Fazio, a Greenwich native, was one of the first Republicans to jump into the race. His campaign focuses heavily on the cost of living crisis in Connecticut He promises to cut electric rates by 20%, eliminate the public benefits charge, and cap p

According to First Selectman Fred Camillo, some residents aren't happy about being ticketed by the town's new traffic cameras for exceeding the speed limit in Greenwich school zones. As of January 8, 2026, the trial period ended, meaning the entire town-wide system—spanning eight school zones and ten cameras—is now fully live. Real tickets are being issued at $50 for the first offense and $75 thereafter. Typically, a citation is triggered if you exceed the limit by 10 mph o

The Greenwich Police Department just posted their police blotter for the month of December 2025. They received 2,997 calls for service during the month, one of the lowest months of calls of the year. Surprisingly, for the holiday season, the number of DUIs dropped to the lowest level of the year numbering only four, but the number of motor vehicle collisions were 204, the most of any month of the year. The number of stolen vehicles and residential thefts spiked to nine and s

It's nine months away from the mid-term elections and the "Pizza vs Pocketbook" debate has officially boiled over. This week, the CT GOP launched a biting digital campaign titled: "Let Them Eat Pizza" here , targeting what they call the "tone-deaf" priorities of the Lamont Administration. The tension stems from a state tourism blitz featuring new highway signs that proudly declare, "Welcome to Connecticut - the Pizza Capital of the United States." The GOP's ad suggests th

Wondering why you are seeing so many people masking up at the grocery store again? The "Super Flu" has officially arrived, and it has hit Connecticut especially hard. Connecticut is experiencing one of the most aggressive starts to its flu season on record. In December 2025, cases in the state surged over 600% compared to the same time last year. The culprit is a specific variant which was identified as Influenza A (H3N2, Subclade K). Because this strain was identified a

If mail theft hasn't made you re-think using the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), here is another: you can no longer drop a time-sensitive document into the Big Blue Box and assume it will be postmarked that day. Effective December 24, 2025, a new USPS rule officially clarified that a postmark is technically defined as the time when a piece of mail is processed at a regional facility (e.g., Stamford), not when it is dropped into a collection box. To guarantee a legal postmark on

Should old acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, And old lang syne? (Chorus) For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We’ll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne. And surely you’ll buy your pint cup! And surely I’ll buy mine! And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet, For auld lang syne. We two have run about the slopes, And picked the daisies fine; But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, Since auld lang syne.   We two

The story first leaked on December 18, 2025, in the Greenwich Democrat Town Committee newsletter here . The reconstituted Hamill Rink Task Force had come to a decision. The task force unanimously recommended a "modified flip" for the new rink. Wait — isn't this the same flip recommended by Selectman Camillo two years ago and the same flip that was rejected by the town legislative body (RTM) back in January 2025? The newsletter was written with a fawning display of praise fo

At the December 11, 2025, Board of Education (BOE) meeting, Greenwich Police Chief James Heavey delivered two startling updates. While the town's new speed cameras have been remarkably successful in curbing reckless driving, they also caught an unexpected group of offenders: our own yellow school buses. Video from the BOE meeting is available here . A 90%+ drop in speeding. The cameras, currently active at eight schools in nine school zones, are already showing their effic

On Wednesday, December 17, 2025, a Greenwich High School math teacher was placed on administrative leave after the district learned of a sexual abuse lawsuit filed against him by a former student in New York. The teacher, Joseph Perlman, joined Greenwich Public Schools in August 2023. In the lawsuit, filed September 2025, the former student alleges that officials within the Rye Neck Union Free Schools District failed to act on "inappropriate behavior and clear signs of groomi

Homeowners in "blue" states like Connecticut are being hit with a massive monthly "cost of living tax" on their electric bills. Meanwhile, residents in red states pay about half as much. In Connecticut, electricity prices are significantly higher than the national average and price increases have outpaced the rest of the country. As of December 2025, CT residents were paying 30.52¢/kWh, compared to the national average of 16.48¢/kWh. Florida rates were 15.39¢/kWh and Texas

Isaiah 9:2, 6: " The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called: Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace." Between the Lines : Hallelujah!

The Night Trump Saved Christmas While undeniably biased in favor of the Trump Administration, this video entitled "The Night Trump Saved Christmas" is a marvel, showcasing the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI). From deepfake technology to advanced animation, it represents a fascinating (and perhaps unsettling) glimpse into the future of digital content creation. It's a testament to how far AI has come in crafting narratives and visuals that can be both entertain

Before Connecticut Metro-North riders face a fare increase in July 2026, they will be hit with confusing new "use it or lose it" ticket rules starting January 4, 2026. The goal is to phase out MetroCards in favor of mobile tickets that once activated have a self-destruct timer. Think of it as Snapchat for commuters: if you don't use the ticket immediately, it vanishes.. One-way tickets, the "4 AM" rule If you purchase a paper or mobile one-way ticket, it is only valid until

Leading up to the Greenwich Board of Education (BOE) meeting (video here ) on Thursday, December 18, the clamor to halt any school staffing cuts reached a fever pitch. For days, letters to the editor poured in from the teacher's union and staff. During the first hour of the school board meeting every speaker - from teachers and students to PTA members - seemed to be singing from the same playbook: "Delay, don't cut." But a look at the actual ledger suggests a more complex

Ten of Greenwich's fifteen public schools were named by the Connecticut Department of Education as "Schools of Distinction" for the 2024-25 school year. This was the highest number of Greenwich schools that made the list this year. Greenwich has increased its presence on the list over the years.

The Greenwich Police Department just posted their police blotter for the month of November 2025. They received 2,956 calls for service during the month, one of the lowest months of calls of the year.
