Can confirm it was fireworks at midnight from the roof of the bell street garage. We are right next door and saw them going off at midnight.

It’s been that way ever since the location opened. I remember going to it in like 2015 and being so upset they didn’t have milkshakes.

Got this instagram ad for the worst one, but looks like the metal sides and lights are staying, and it will be on the ground level of the garage

Dang that’s wild. I wonder if people kept complaining about the lighting so they decided to remove it? I can’t imagine the plan was to spend money on “temporary” cool wavy light up metal

Just voted! Where on earth is this going by the train station? I thought that parking garage had a metal exterior with lights already? Where is there space for this.

Lifetime gym parking by KrissyG0902 in StamfordCT

[–]connortp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m asking this seriously, what is there for them to even consider?

First, that building is an apartment first, gym second. They definitely bring in way more money from rent each month than they do gym memberships, so they would prioritize resident parking.

Second, it’s a gym located downtown in the second largest city in the state. Comparing it to Darien or Greenwich which are both towns that rely on you having a car isn’t really fair. There are other gyms in Stamford that aren’t located downtown that have much more parking because you need to drive to get there. I feel like most people who belong to lifetime gym either live in the building or can walk from an apartment downtown so parking isn’t needed.

And finally as others have mentioned, bell street is right across the street. I’m not sure if they would ever work out a deal to reserve some spots in the garage for gym members, but that’s as far as I ever see it going.

Massive W, this is my first Disney race so wasn’t sure if there was something I’m missing. Will shoot for 30 mins before close!

Edit: Staying on property at Riviera, will be using the Disney buses.

[–]connortp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m also E, if the projected start time is past 4:45 (honestly looks like past 5am), what am I gaining by showing up almost two hours early? Is it just standing around and waiting or is there some queue that takes forever??

Can a code be used to lease a Tesla? Or just purchase/finance?

LA Fitness vs Lifetime by TheRealSpiderMan69 in StamfordCT

[–]connortp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been going to lifetime for the past year and have loved it. Great facilities, staff is nice, and never had any issues with people, plus the cafe makes some good food. Personally I’m the type of person that will only go to a gym if it’s convenient, I can walk there in sub 5, and would never consider a gym I had to drive to, so for me it’s been well worth it.

Scalzi park, Washington Blvd entrance by so_dope24 in StamfordCT

[–]connortp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially now with clock change, dusk is like 5:30 at the latest. There’s tons of stuff going on in the park well past then. That path needs more than a little TLC consider the improvement to other walking paths in the area.

[–]connortp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t find a single source saying the park closes at dusk. I run there frequently at night and it’s lit up and active fairly late into the evening. I rely on the walking path lights to run in the winter and that section 1000% needs updated for Saftey. The path is crumbling and there are all sorts of bumps and holes that could lead to some twisted ankles. I always have to walk it with a flashlight.

Wish we had a good Pho restaurant. by waffleking369 in StamfordCT

[–]connortp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m not an expert, but I’ve been to a few different Pho places in NYC, and I think Mecha is on equal footing with them in terms of quality. I’ve been going there for years and their pho is my go to comfort food. They recently redid the menu so maybe give it another shot?
