On Tuesday, Save the Sound released its latest beach report, and the results are highly encouraging. Of Connecticut's 72 beaches, 55 received an A or B rating, and not a single beach received a failing grade of F. After decades of fighting pollution, fish die-offs, and constant closures, real progress is being made in cleaning up Long Island Sound. Contamination typically stems from untreated sewage, pet waste, and goose droppings, with bacteria levels spiking when rainstorms

The name Taiel Gookool is back in the headlines today, April 28, 2026, following a major announcement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. For years, the 31-year-old was a "local" face with a disturbing history tied to Prospect Street in Greenwich and River Road Extension in Cos Cob. Now, federal authorities have ensured he won't be returning to our streets for a very long time. The Breakdown: No More Revolving Doors The reason this is trending now is the sheer weight of the sent

On Sunday, April 12, 2026 , Greenwich will mark the 250th Anniversary of the year of George Washington’s historic arrival in our town with a commemorative ride between the Greenwich Historical Society and Putnam Cottage. 10:30 AM – 11:00 AM: Meet the General at the Greenwich Historical Society in Cos Cob (47 Strickland Road) as he prepares his horse for the journey. Colonial games and toy making will be available for children. 11:30 AM: Arrive at Knapp's Tavern (now Put

Based on newly released 2026 data from Niche, Greenwich neighborhoods have officially swept the podium. Three Greenwich communities now sit in the top five of the "Best Places to Live in Connecticut," proving that demand for our corner of the state is higher than ever. Old Greenwich took the crown at number 1 (a significant climb from its #10 spot in 2025). Riverside followed closely at number 3 (steady at the top), and Cos Cob, praised for its "relaxed vibe" and central loc

The North Street bridge replacement (over West Brothers Brook) is beginning this month. The "kicker" that has everyone buzzing: North Street will be fully closed for up to 81 days (roughly June 8 to August 28). Residents are already mapping out detours and debating the impact on summer camp commutes and backcountry access. This is a critical infrastructure project targeting a 1950s-era bridge that is now structurally deficient. The Department of Public Works (DPW) opted for

The frustration of Greenwich residents about the new school zone speed cameras has officially hit a fever pitch. At the Board of Selectmen meeting on Thursday, March 12, what was meant to be a routine update turned into a discussion of the rising number of "nasty" complaints flooding Town Hall. Your BMW Can't Go That Slow? First Selectman Fred Camillo didn't mince words, reporting that his office has been inundated with calls from residents—many of whom are not exactly us

In Greenwich, the morning commute has transitioned from a routine to a high-stakes calculation. If you drive through District 7, you are currently at the center of the town’s new automated traffic enforcement experiment. T own Hall Advice: First Selectman Fred Camillo addressed the growing backlash. He acknowledged hearing from a "number of residents who are upset" about the new automated citations but remained firm on the policy. Camillo argued that the program is a matter o

The debate over the new Central Middle School (CMS) has shifted from blueprints to an uncomfortable reality: the town built a school too big for the current neighborhood. The new facility is sized for 660 students, but the local neighborhood currently provides only 450-500 students. Open Enrollment? Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones recently recommended "Open Enrollment" to fill the seats and the response was immediate. Of the 21 students raising their hands to move in the ini

The new year need not start with gym memberships or rigid financial resolutions, instead it can be a time to refresh the soul by tapping into the true wealth of Greenwich: our coastal shoreline and hidden wooded trails. The Shock and the Shore. Tod’s Point is the undisputed headquarters for New Year's Day. It is home to the unofficial Polar Plunge starting at noon (aim to arrive by 11:30 am to find a spot). It is a chaotic, bathrobe-clad charge into the 40-degree Sound and

Sewage pipes in Greenwich might be leaking untreated wastewater into local waterways. Save the Sound found high levels of bacteria not just following heavy rainfall, but also on dry days. That could point to a bigger problem of sanitary sewer infrastructure underground. Save the Sound tested ten sites in Greenwich and found six were not deemed safe to swim in. They include East Branch Byram River, Pemberwick Creek, Horseneck Brook, Byram Park, Byram River at Comley Avenue

It's back. The Affordable Housing bill that Governor Lamont (D) rightfully vetoed a few months ago has been re-issued and is about to be voted on in a special session in Hartford. The politicians say it's a scaled back version of the hated HB5002, a compromise bill, and a bipartisan effort. Don't believe any of that. It incentivizes dense, as-of-right multifamily and middle housing in commercial zones and near transit (think Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich tra

Forget about rushing through a school zone. New photo speed camera enforcement has arrived in Greenwich. This program was originally set to launch with warnings after October 6 and then tickets issued after November 5, but it was delayed for reasons unspecified. The program is now on track. Starting Monday, October 20, you will receive a warning in the mail for driving 10+ MPH over the posted limit. Starting November 19, the warnings stop, and tickets begin. $50 for the f
