Growing up, a visit to the Fisherman’s Net was always part of the grocery shopping rounds. The somewhat obscurely located little fish market, off in a tiny shopping lot to the right of Goodwives Shopping Plaza, was a place I didn’t enjoy going into myself, because of its fishy smell, but that was where [...]
My favorite Neighborpreneur stories are those of people who transitioned from a wildly successful career doing something they’re good at to an entrepreneurial endeavor doing something they truly love.

Oh. My. GAWD.
I guarantee that you will be ABsolutely FLOORED by how majestic and lovely it is architecturally, while still maintaining a comfortable, community-oriented atmosphere. I also guarantee that other media will cover, [...]

First of all, I cannot believe how long it has taken me to get around to this post: perhaps the most poignant and proud memories I have of growing up in Darien revolve around “Walter Schalk.”
My experience started with Ballroom Dancing in 5th and 6th grade, which not only armed me with the basic foxtrot [...]
Well, I just had kind of a “duh” moment … and one of my rules of thumb about guiding this site’s content is that, if I didn’t know something, I’m probably not the only one. (case in point: luminaries at Christmastime) So here it is.
