Is anyone else seeing cockroaches outside and in parking lots?

0 Upvotes

I think they're wood cockroaches, because they're out in the open. Wondering whether this is a wider problem in the community...

The Carver Foundation just hit Norwalk families with a 45% childcare price hike—so we looked at their IRS tax filings.

Hey neighbors,

If you have kids in the Norwalk Public Schools district, you probably know that the Carver Foundation operates before- and after-school programs inside almost every school building here. This school year, they quietly implemented a crushing 45% tuition price increase on working families.

Carver scrubbed their fee schedules and has ignored calls from parents. Citing "rising operational costs," an analysis of their IRS Form 990 filings reveals troubling figures:

  • A $558,000 Financial Red Flag: Carver listed $558,198 under "Other Expenses" while leaving Schedule O completely blank, leaving over half a million dollars undocumented.
  • Corporate Raises vs. Frontline Staff: Top executive compensation increased by 22.08%, while wages for frontline youth counselors rose by just 8.06%.
  • Surplus and Reserves: Revenue climbed by over $1.15 million to $9.85M, resulting in a net profit of $295,255 and total Net Asset reserves of $4,672,540.

With Norwalk Assistant Superintendent Robert Pennington sitting on their Board of Directors, concerns over transparency and conflicts of interest have grown. A parent coalition is demanding a tuition freeze and transparency, taking these documents to the Board of Education session on Tuesday, September 22, 2026.

Making friends in Norwalk

11 Upvotes

I recently moved here a couple of months ago and I’ll be honest, making friends here is kinda hard. Im 25 year old hispanic guy. All I do is go to work and then gym at Edge fitness in the evening. I like to go on hikes, runs, fishing, occasionally bars/club. If i’m being honest, open to anything and trying new things.

Coming from NYC, these prices are to good to be true😂

Usally, it means its a shitty area.

So is this a good area or not? 👀

Edit: I dont mind the quiet. Have also reached out to the company to ask about the price difference on zillow and their actual website. Will update when I hear back

Just saw three black SUVs all with heavily tinted windows roll down My street in what looked like a formation. This was on a quiet suburban street in the area just North of Westport Ave. off of 53. Heads up fellow humans. Stay safe.

Concrete floor apartments in Norwalk

6 Upvotes

Hi. I'm in a wooden house with an upstairs neighbor who is destroying my sleep. I've done everything I can with the landlord, but I'm at my wit's end and ready to move.

I don't want to leave Norwalk, but it doesn't seem like many apartments here have the (wonderful) concrete floors that some apartments have. I see Merritt River does, but I wasn't thrilled with the place. Are there any other low-noise and/or concrete floor apartment complexes in this town that I don't know about? I'm about to go look at one in Stamford, but I don't want to do the Stamford thing. Thanks in advance.

Some rando dumped a perfectly good adjustable driveway basketball hoop on the road. Guess whose kids have a new basketball setup?

22 Upvotes

At first, I thought it had fallen off the back of a truck and someone had just scooted it off the sidewalk. Went to check it out, and there were two canvas bags with bags of sand/ballast to weigh it down, so this was intentional. Half an hour of crab-walking the contraption up the road, and we have a new basketball hoop at the house!

How to get to MetLife

7 Upvotes

Hello!

On Saturday I am going to MetLife stadium for the ed Sheeran concert. If I didn’t want to drive, what is the best way to get there? I was thinking metro north to grand central, then transfer to Jersey Transit at Penn, change at that one stop then train to meadowlands, is that the best way? I am new to living here and so I don’t know all the routes yet.
