Make it a point to grab the kids and swing by the NEW Darien Rowayton Bank building downtown on Saturday, August 23rd from 12:30 to 3:30 for an afternoon of food and fun that will DEFINITELY drown out any depression you may feel about summer’s end!
The festivites include food (burgers, dogs, chips, soda, juice [...]
One of my goals for this website is to connect Darien’s small businesses and individuals providing services of value to the community with the people in our community who need them.
They’re the “people in your neighborhood” with odd or not-easily-classified skills and services, and a listing in the Yellow Pages just wouldn’t do what [...]
Hi again, it’s Jan!
It’s almost August and the the end of summer may be nearing but you can keep it going in your home all year long. Believe it or not, everything in the picture on the left is a candle! They range in price from about $8.00 to about $20, and believe me [...]
Hi, it’s Jan!
One of my favorite places to browse is Beadz Boutique, right near Johnny’s on Tokeneke Rd. I love their jewelry and the fact that you can design you own pieces but, I have to admit I am also a purse junkie and Beadz has some great ones. These very “in” patent bags are [...]
I’m wondering how many Darien Kayakers we have participating in this event …? If you know of one, it’s not too late to add their donation links to the site, or just brag about their participation — you can post them in a comment below!
Anyway, if you have some time you should check out the [...]
Hi, it’s Jan!
Did you know that this year is the 40th anniversary of Woodstock? I missed it myself, and my kids are still asking me why i didn’t go!
Well, to celebrate, I am buying my 4 year-old grandchildren these fun T-shirts from Johnny’s on Tokeneke Rd.
These are just a few of the children’s T’s that [...]
So this is one of the most popular questions in the Insider Survey, and I thought it would be fun for everyone to see the results and/or get even more of you to weigh in …
Keep in mind the list in the poll is from the answers submitted in the survey so far — there [...]
My little neighborhood is one of the things I love best about living in Noroton Heights (aside from the close proximity to beaches, tons of fun parks for the kids and walking distance to a little shopping center that offers everything from a coffee cafe to yoga classes and movie rentals – but I [...]
Are your kids’ sailing/tennis/swim lessons/camp over and now they’re hanging around the house driving you crazy? How about hitting them with a little bit of historical fun!? The Darien Historical Society is running a Summer History Camp for all elementary school- aged children next week, July 21-25th, 9:30am- 2pm — check it out!
I went to college in the south (Go Heels!) where my friends couldn’t get over the way I pronounced the name of my hometown. They’d roll their eyes and jut out and lock their jaws and say “Dairy-EHN” in mock imitation of me in a very exaggerated way, as if we residents of Darien have [...]
Just a reminder that daytime fun (i.e. shopping and kids activities and entertainment) during the Sidewalk Sales is only the half of what Darien is offering this weekend – you’ve also got 3 evenings of Carnival to enjoy, complete with amusement park rides, mini golf, games, food booths, and a DJ!
It’s all going down at [...]
