On Mischief Night, October 30, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was bludgeoned to death just steps from her home in the ritzy Belle Haven neighborhood of Greenwich, Connecticut. The weapon of choice? A golf club. A cold case for decades. In the wake of the brutal murder, Greenwich police, more familiar with handing out traffic citations than conducting homicide investigations, found themselves in over their heads. They had their suspects from the start: Tommy Skakel, then a

The irony of Greenwich First Selectman Camillo honoring a person whose position was ruled illegitimate, is why they say politics makes strange bedfellows. The Connecticut Centinal provides an illuminating history below of how this irony came about: Honoring outgoing board members - even rogue ones. This week and last, Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo honored the Board of Education (BOE) members whose terms just ended, including those involved in what he personally des

At a public hearing of the Stamford Zoning Board last week, residents of Stamford and Old Greenwich expressed worries that

The 2025 town-wide revaluation of Greenwich real estate is underway. Since the last revaluation in 2021, residential assessed property valuations have risen about 29% to $38.2 billion. This higher valuation should make you happy, assuming you already live here, because it means there is larger base of property values to absorb town operating expenses. However, if you live in a "hot" Greenwich neighborhood, such as Central Greenwich (D1), more of the tax burden will be shif

Berkley to construct a new 38,300-square-foot, three-story office building at the corner of Davenport & Steamboat Roads.

To make way for the project, the plan was to merge 5 existing lots and demolish 5 structures, including a two-family h

Are you aware that one of the most common crimes committed in Greenwich is identity theft using credit cards, debit/ATM cards and wire fraud? Why? The nature of Greenwich (affluent, with luxury retailers and financial institutions) makes it a specific target for organized theft rings and financial crimes.

The renovated train station component of the $30 million Greenwich Crossing revitalization project is expected to open by the end of December 2025.

They include East Branch Byram River, Pemberwick Creek, Horseneck Brook, Byram Park, Byram River at Comley Avenue

Last week, the Democrat supermajority in control of Connecticut's House and Senate rammed through an omnibus housing bill that puts the State in charge of local zoning. This was done during a special emergency session without bi-partisan vetting or public input. Connecticut is now attracting unwanted national attention for this insane State policy that is one of the most extreme in the nation. The New York Post ran this story written by Betsy McCaughey, former Lt Governor of
