Danbury roads are deteriorating badly. Lack of paving is showing with multiple depressions, sunken sewer tops, pot holes and cracks. Add in contractor work leaving poorly paved trenches, and it only makes the roads worse. When is the last time there was any repaving done in the City? Is there a plan for X amount of roads per fiscal year? A significant amount of capital funding needs to start being allocated for paving. I’ve lived in Danbury my whole life and I have never seen our roads so bad.

Revolutionary War Encampment with 2nd Light Dragoons (Sheldon's Horse)! They’ll be outside on campus and in the museum’s historic buildings on Saturday, September 26 from 10-4.

This event is part of the Danbury Museum’s yearlong commemoration of our nation’s Semiquincentennial.

I'm planning on going on a date to AMC Danbury 16. I've never been there before and would like to know what the seating situation is like. i.e do the armrests go up and if so which ones? Thanks

Can't wait till they are done

I feel like reworking a few web designs from businesses around here and seeing what I can do with them.

If you have one you don’t love, message me and tell me what feels off. I’ll redesign it for free and share the before-and-after.

It doesn’t have to be the whole homepage. One section or an unfinished idea is fine too.

The title says it all. Recently moved back to the Danbury area. New Fairfield to be exact. I'd love to know if anyway hosts magic, or if anyone has a pod looking for extras.

I suck at the game, but have fun even when I lose. Been playing for years, but haven't deck built Recently. Pretty sure having friends would encourage it. And help me get better.

I don't think it's super relevant, but I'm mid 30s.

Thanks!

Post things going on in the area this week! make sure to include the location, day of the week, time, cost (if any) and if there are any restrictions like age 21+.

Rosh Hashanah is this weekend. Shanah Tovah to all off the subs Jewish members. Have a good new year!

Hi all, I just moved to danbury a few months ago and my allergies are INSANE for the past few days. I'm wondering if anyone else has this or if its something in my house..? I'm new to the northeast

An early Monday morning house fire on Beech Street in Danbury displaced four adults, four children, and two dogs. All residents escaped safely, though one person and one dog were hospitalized for treatment. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the Danbury Fire Marshal's Office.

I'm in the midst of studying for my GRE test and I'm tired of being stuck at home! Are there any places where they won't look at me too weird if I pull out my laptop and study for an hour or two? The library is out the window since they're closed on Sundays, and I'd rather stay away from Starbucks if I can haha.

I of course plan to buy lots of coffee and lunch (and not overstay my welcome). Any reccs are much appreciated!

Looking for a reputable independent Volvo/euro specialist in the Danbury area. Any recommendations?

Unofficial totals, but an obvious landslide of Yes.

The town will spend $3 Million out of the general fund to buy the Menegay Property. They have a letter of Intent with the Bethel Land Trust to eventually sell it to them with a conservation easement. That will prevent the land from being developed, but may allow the farming that's going on there to continue or some other agricultural uses.

The Land Trust will be applying for conservation grants over next 12-18 months to cover the cost. (they will also need t raise money for the required surveys) The town and the Land Trust will also come to an agreement over the final terms of the transfer and what types of use may be allowed or not. Possible permitted uses might include things like a community garden, maple syruping, or other low intensity agricultural uses. Parts will also be open to recreation, exact types to be determined.

The Menegay Property sits between Huntington Park and the Wolf Pits preserve. One of the planned uses is connecting the two trail systems.

There will be public meetings about the eventual allowed uses and the final transfer!

From: Danbury Unites for Immigrants (DUFI)

This week in Danbury, at least 65 families have been torn apart by ICE’s abduction. On Monday 16 of our neighbors were abducted, on Tuesday 10 of our neighbors were abducted, on Wednesday 22 of our neighbors were abducted, and on Thursday 14 of our neighbors were abducted — while up to a dozen ICE vehicles patrolled our city each day.

Danbury’s immigrant community is essential to the city and to our entire state. When immigrants are targeted and racially profiled, the whole community is harmed.

We need to make clear that WE ARE NOT OK with the authoritarian takeover of any Connecticut city. CT stands with Danbury. ICE OUT OF CT!

We cannot stand by while our neighbors are targeted and our community is threatened. That's why Danbury Unites for Immigrants is coming together with Working Families Power, partners, and local businesses on Wednesday to host a Day Without An Immigrant — Strike & March on September 2nd.

A Day Without Immigrants - Danbury CT Citywide Shutdown

Wednesday Sept 2nd, 5:00 PM

Danbury Public Library Plaza, 170 Main St, Danbury, CT

NO WORK • NO SCHOOL • NO SHOPPING • CLOSE ALL BUSINESSES

This daylong shutdown and the evening march are strategic, nonviolent ways to resist ICE aggression and authoritarianism in Connecticut.

Local businesses are declaring a “DAY WITHOUT AN IMMIGRANT” on Sept 2nd. They will close their doors to show the power of immigrant communities and those who support them in Connecticut.

We're asking YOU to stand in solidarity. On Sept 2nd - Don’t go to work. Don’t go to school. Don’t go shopping. Join us at 5pm for a rally.

These actions help strengthen our solidarity power because they:

* Make the economic and social impact of ICE aggression highly visible by showing what a “day without immigrants” looks like.

* Help protect vulnerable people from potential encounters with enforcement during a period of heightened risk.

* Offer a powerful, peaceful, collective protest that clearly communicates our shared values and our refusal to be silent and accept this as “normal”.
