What's the most terrifying feeling when you're driving? I think it's almost being side-swiped by an inattentive driver. You see it coming, but they don't. I'm terrified of driving along I-84 East and West between Exit 3 and 8 in Danbury lately, I think I'm finally done I-84, I give up.

If you didn't say time lapse, I don't think we can be friends anymore but I will accept the slow-motion, tough guy walk, backed by the blues. juddo112 understands the value of the time lapse video and the night sky over Connecticut. They captured a full-moon video and shared it to Youtube.

My grandmother loved Sergio Franchi, she was proud that he was a famous Italian-American entertainer that chose Connecticut as his home. Franchi purchased a 240-acre estate in Stonington, Connecticut in September 1979. I just saw today that if you have a dozen million dollars in your account, you could own it.

Michael Gandolfini is the son of Sopranos star and Hollywood legend James Gandolfini. Michael was in Danbury last night as the guest of Jimmy Galante, we'll come back to that. Michael turned heads and gained respect as an actor in his major-film debut, playing young Tony Soprano in The Many Saints of Newark. It's interesting to see how Michael has stepped out of the shadow of his father, playing the very same role.

If you have some old photos of the Danbury State Fair, Connecticut's only zoo has put out a request for a photo of their giant cow. Beardsley Zoo, which is celebrating 100 years in business this year, has been home to a big cow for a long time. It stood outside of their New England Farmyard for the past 40 years, and prior to that, the big cow was part of the collection of statues that were part of the Danbury Fair collection. As with everything, 40 years of Connecticut weather outside in a zoo took its toll on the statue, and the Beardsley Zoo recently sent the big cow statue out to be completely refurbished, which you can see in the above and below photos.

Aerosmith have canceled their first set of 2022 Las Vegas residency dates so Steven Tyler can seek treatment following a relapse.

Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito has his macho game on lock. You cannot be macho, unless you've rocked a non-ironic mustache in a multitude of different decades, and Espo has. His 2022 stache got on my radar a few weeks back when I saw him marching with a local group down Main Street. We caught up with Mayor Esposito on Friday (5/13/22) and asked him about it, this is what he had to say:

I was listening to a sports-talk podcast recently, and the host posed topic of new NFL franchises. In what cities could the NFL put new teams?. The members of the show went around the room listing off cities that either made sense or had been rumored to be working on this in the past. Not surprisingly, major cities in Texas and Florida were mentioned.

When I think about all of the beautiful, expensive real estate along the East coast of the United States, I'd guess that it would be most expensive to buy a house in New York City, Boston, Miami, Newport? East Hampton? Greenwich? Nope. Close, and it is in Connecticut. According to...

There's a seasonal attraction in Southeastern Connecticut that rivals it's nearby gargantuan neighbors Foxwoods & Mohegan Sun's beauty. It's a pick-you-own Tulip Farm, and it's stunning.

Let me start by saying that I stand firmly behind the phrase "Dogs are man's best friend," like my soon-to-be 2-year-old Chihuahua, RayRay. RayRay is 5 pounds, and if you see him from across the room, you'd think that he has 3 pound ears. Here's a recent photo. Here's my...

I'm a fan of history, those who protect it and the brilliant individuals who act as the custodians of our human story. Don Wildman is one of those people, so I've been in his fan club since he became a TV personality. Now, it looks like there may be a mutual admiration happening here.
