We, the undersigned merchants of New Canaan, are writing to respectfully urge you [the Town Council] not to fund the expansion of paid parking to Main Street. Since the onset of the initiative on Elm Street, we have experienced a noticeable decline in foot traffic, accompanied by a corresponding drop in sales compared to prior years. As business owners who are present on this street every day, across all seasons, we witness firsthand how these changes affect customer behavior and the vitality of our downtown village.

Who Knew: I Knew André Was an Idiot, and Soon, You Will Too

By |

‘Who Knew?’ is sponsored by Walter Stewart’s Market. A man, diagnosed with terminal colon cancer, made a hilarious, profound rocketship of a movie about it, and I’m inviting you to come watch it with me at the New Canaan Playhouse on April 18th. André is an Idiot is the best movie about death I’ve ever seen. Not just me; pretty much anyone who sees it. It won the Audience Award at Sundance.

I’ve spoken to a lot of people about gas leaf blowers, and nearly everyone has been outspoken against them. It’s not just the disruption of our daily lives and use of our properties by their horrible noise —there are also serious health concerns associated with their use. Research from the Children’s Environmental Health Center at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai warns that gas leaf blowers pose significant health risks to residents, landscaping workers, and especially children.
