New Food Bazaar on Fairfield Ave

I work in that area and used to go to that Stop & Shop but I’ve never been to the other Food Bazaar on the other end of Bridgeport off exit 5 on route 8/25. Is it like Stop & Shop/Shop Rite or more like an Aldi’s sort of place?

Need some help picking seats for the Lil Wayne concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena as I've never been. Would section 110/111 be too far from the stage? Should I go for the section 18 instead? It's about $50 higher for section 18

Thanks in advance!

How have things changed in CT in the last 10-20 years?

I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on how CT has changed in the last 10-20 years, big or small, good and bad. I'm planning on moving back in the near future after moving out west 20+ years ago. I've seen a lot of towns and cities out west go through a ton of change in that time. How has the Land of Steady Habits evolved?

Winter seems a lot milder than it used to be. A lot more breweries. But all the restaurants that were around in my hometown 20 years ago are still there today.

Best careers in the state with solid pay?

I am currently active duty Navy, but will be getting out in roughly a year. I'm stationed in San Diego, but my wife and I will be returning to Connecticut where all of our family and friends are. I am very self motivated, have a great attitude and work ethic and would call myself a fast learner. I have an associates degree in science of general studies(I understand that doesn't get me too far) and most of my work experience is in the electrical field, I completed 3 and a half years of my apprenticeship and unfortunately got laid off due to covid and joined the navy. Other than that I have 4 years of Naval service, unfortunately I'm going down the path of medical separation due to back problems. I do intend to use my GI bill to go back to school, more than likely will major in finance. But before I get my degree, I will need employment and benefits. Can anyone recommend any suggestions? Are there any veterans in here that have had to do the same as me that can give me solid recommendations? Anything helps, I greatly appreciate it

*sigh* Fairfield League of Women Voters cancels house, senate debate after no Republicans agree to attend

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan nonprofit promoting civic engagement, was set to host a debate between the candidates running for the state house and senate seats that represent parts of town at Fairfield University's Barone Campus Center Oct. 7. Locals would have posed questions to candidates in the four races in Fairfield's General Assembly delegation, but a league member said none of the four Republican candidates committed to attend by the deadline to do so.

Bought a House in Colchester, is there town Garbage pickup? Other tips about Colchester appreciated too!

Hi All,

Moving to Colchester, which I'm excited about but now I'm trying to remember things that home owners need to know(like trash pick up) I know there is a transfer station but does that mean no town Garbage pickup?

Thanks!

This is a composite sketch compiling multiple witness descriptions of the mysterious creature that terrorized Glastonbury in 1939. Dubbed the Glawackus, it defied definition. Pets were mauled. Livestock disappeared. Finally, the town got answers, and a surprise. Podcast link in comments.

How are you planning to vote on the referendum allowing no-excuse absentee ballots?

I’m curious to see what the state thinks. Personally I’m against it, but what do you all say? Explain why in the comments!

Connecticut artist seeking grant opportunities in the Hartford area.

I am an artist looking to get grants to teach children different artistic projects that focus on belonging and reconnection to nature, community, and themselves.

I really want to be able to approach schools, foundations, organizations with the money and curriculum in hand so that all they need to do is make space for the kids to learn. I am open and have experience with ages 6 and up.

I want to reach kids who are most marginalized be it by race, class, or abilities.

So far I have just applied for NEFA but many of the other grants on my list require that I am a 501(c)(3) which I am not at this point.

Does anyone have any leads or suggestions on where to go?

TLDR: Teaching artist seeking grant opportunities to serve marginalized youth ages 6 and up.

Chefs Table or Unique Restaurant Experience Suggestions?!

My SIL rocks and I’m hoping to treat her to a great restaurant experience for her birthday. Something different than just making a reservation at an expensive restaurant, and not necessarily about being entertained by the ambiance. She appreciates quality food and drinks made with love, so I thought a chef’s table would rock. I’ve come across restaurants that’ve had some special/limited farm-to-table kind of events in the past, but not seeing anything current. Any suggestions?
