Gone but not forgotten. The Historic Overlay, which was denied, would have meant the applicant could preserve some of the original structure in exchange for incentives in the form of permission for 3 residences on the property which is R6 (two-family as of right). P&Z said they wanted more to be preserved. The applicant said they didn't know what the house originally looked like and were taking cues from the neighborhood which is the historic Fourth Ward. Lots of passions on this application.

The day after P&Z denied the historic overlay, demolition crews set about razing the structure.

This is a nice story that was the idea of Phil Brous who I remember interviewing a decade ago when he organized a coat drive. This time he partnered with Hammer & Nails Grooming Shop for Guys in Greenwich to do something nice for a veteran.

Recently, an unexpected call from Phil Brous gave the staff at Hammer & Nails the chance to make a difference in the life of a local hero — a veteran who was staying at Greenwich Hospital.

We certainly have great options in Greenwihc, including Pizza Post, Grigg St, Arcuri's, Luca's, Planet Pizza and Glenville Pizza. And Patsy's I'm told but I haven't tried it yet.

“Connecticut pizza isn’t just food, it’s a way of life,” Governor Lamont said. “From New Haven to Hartford to Mystic, our pizza culture is unmatched, and these initiatives will make sure the whole world knows it. This isn’t just about great sauce and slices – it’s about the stories, ...
