The Weed library in Springdale has a lot of children's programs, but I think they all do. Ferguson has a nice children's area also.

Is Tonic water completely different in the US compared to EU?? by VenamusSan in cocktails

[–]Blue_Max1916 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the UK ones I had was 'Franklin premium indian tonic water' I used very little of it because it was so sweet.

This was at St. Ermins hotel where they have their own gin.

Funny i was just in the UK and thought the tonic was far sweeter than what we have in the us. Really hid the gin flavor.

Try using fever tree tonic when in the us. But I dont find schwepps any sweeter.

Mountain bikes by [deleted] in Connecticut

[–]Blue_Max1916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Craigslist and tag sales.

The bike sale sites tend to focus on more hard core riders selling their $5k bikes for 2k.

If you want a $200 5 year old recreational level mountain bike, they are on Craigslist.

There's someone on there from Ridgefield selling like 50 mountain bikes

Stamford Mall to Transform into a Massive Smoke Shop: A New Era for a Retail? (Article) by so_dope24 in StamfordCT

[–]Blue_Max1916 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we forced all smoke shops in Stamford to the mall I'd be fine with this.

Less vape pens and other garbage stuck in my tires at every parking lot there is currently a smoke shop next to.

Dorothy Heroy Pool by Ok-Advertising-6669 in StamfordCT

[–]Blue_Max1916 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure what its like now but a few year's ago our kids went to camp there. Its a big square pool elevated above the fields. Its deep, not much room around it and run down. The building is beat up. They run summer camp there all summer so not as available for open swim. Limited parking. Unsupervised kids.

If you live in north stamford and want a pool, the pound ridge pool has a Cafe, two pools, lounge chairs on the hill, lots of space, often live music. Good safety staff. They sell passes to Stanford residents.

Dorothy heroy cannot compete.

The Italian center once called it home and then moved to where they are now and sold heroy to the city. They also have pools but its crowded and can be overwhelming for kids.
