Checked the sandbar connection to Charles Island and even at low tide it doesn’t reach. Has something changed?

Stoplight in front of Tower Plaza

Is anyone else who frequently drives down Bridgeport Ave annoyed by how often this stoplight turns red lately? It's never been like that before and it's not like there's ever anyone waiting to turn out of that driveway

Is there such thing as a $300 Point Beach / Private Beach Pass?

Not related to parking, recently moved to Milford and my landlord had me purchase a beach pass lanyard for $300 that would have "given me access" to the beaches.

  1. I've never yet seen anyone enforce this in the Point Beach area
  2. I can't even find any language that speaks to purchasing this if you were on your own, and where it points to it being $300.

Anybody have any information?

Rooms to rent/temporary housing

I live out of state but am trying to help my brother out with a housing problem.

He currently lives in a shared apartment in Milford but will have to leave at the end of the month because his roommate found a new place (the roommate was the only one on the lease; my brother has no credit history in order to get a lease on his own). He has a low-paying job and not many skills and is on a couple of housing lists, but there is no telling how long it could take to get a placement.

He has no drug or criminal background, just low skills and some bad life choices. Does anyone know of a good place to look online to find studio apartments or rooms to rent month by month - something that won't require a lease? I search online and it seems like it's all a bunch of fake ads or ads for realtors. He works in Fairfield but he's commuted from as far as Branford in the past so while the Milford area would be better it's not a requirement.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Soccer at Tribus Brewing

Hey!

Does anyone know anything about the soccer stadium that is across from Tribus Brewing? There are games there with teams, but I haven't been able to find any information about how to play or how to see the schedule or information on it.

Looking for work

Evening everyone,

I am a current Milford resident, moved here two years ago. My wife loves the area and I currently work a grueling sales manager job. I am trying to get out of sales. I have a lot of experience and a bachelors degree as well. I work 11 hour days with great customer service and employee management and development.

I am trying to find work that is local and will give my wife and I a chance to be apart of this community.

Any leads out there?

Software/IT jobs while living in Milford, CT

Hi everyone!

My husband and I used to live in Connecticut but moved to North Texas three years ago. I really want to move back to Connecticut again, but I’m worried about the job market for software jobs now. Heard companies moved out of CT, not sure how true that is. I used to work in Aerospace before but I don’t want to go back to it. I’m currently working as a software engineer in insurance.

My questions:

  1. For anyone currently in the IT industry, how hard is it to find jobs and switch companies within CT?

  2. Is Milford a good area to live while working in IT? I know Hartford has a lot of insurance companies, but is the commute to Hartford doable if needed?

  3. Other than Aerospace and Insurance, are there any other industries with IT jobs in CT? Those are the only two I know primarily.

  4. Are there any other areas that are more preferable?

  5. Not my preferred option, but is Massachusetts better for career growth? The housing in MA seems a lot harder to find a house in our price range. (650-750k). Also prefer CT winters.

I love everything else about CT, but the job market worries me compared to where I am now in the Dallas area where there are lots of companies in various fields.

Thanks so much in advance!

Preschool for 2.5 year old

I’m moving to Milford soon and would love any assessments of local preschools for my toddler. She turns 3 in January and we need care in September. We’d like an accredited center in the area. Goddard looks like our top choice and maybe Kindercare as a second. We like Montessori but don’t see anything close by. We’re doing tours soon and realize we may have to wait. Am I missing anything? If anyone has experience with local centers I would love to chat with you. Thanks in advance!
