In the Country Club Rd area of Waterbury Ct is the established subdivision know simply as The Ridges. First homes established in 1933 were built for the then movers and shakers of Waterbury, Ct. The section was developed not only because of the stately potential of the area far removed at the time from the congestion of the downtime business district, but also because of it's proximity to The Country Club Of Waterbury, which was the social center for Waterbury's elite at the time.  The stone monument at the entrance of the Cull-De-Sac served as a reminder to those that entered that this was not just any residential neighborhood. The years have removed the guarded exclusivity of this Waterbury, CT subdivision and it has become a neighborhood ideal for raising a family.The homes along the...

Enjoy A Day at Schofield Park Bunker Hill - Waterbury CT! Going to the park should be a once a week event, at least. During the spring and summer months, it gives the children an opportunity to run and play, and for parents, some down time to relax, enjoy the breeze, and even stop and smell the flowers. I took such an opportunity on Sunday at Schofield Park, located in the Bunker Hill section of Waterbury CT with my family... And I was simply blown away by how nice that Schofield Park was.... A well kept playground, set on a rubberized landing! How cool is that?!?!? No more scraped knees or sand in your shoes.... Two baseball diamonds set at opposite ends of the park.... A large field for the kids to play kickball, soccer, or any other pastime they choose....   A basketball court for th...

There are times when you just don't need all that special attention or an extra pair of hands! Baby:  Wow what do you call that?  Cat: I call that lunch Hey watch what happens when I pull his tail! If you stay nice and quiet nobody will know we're here. Okay you can get up now I have a good grip!   Hey quit hogging the blankets. Doesn't feel like our mom plus there seems to be something missing. Where are the lunch spigots?

Louie's Pizza House You can go to just about any pizza place in town for a slice of pizza, and if you want delivery, then all you have to do is call.  But where do you go when you want something special, that only a few places actually specialize in?   Almost every pizza place in town offers more than just pizza, but only a few offer gyros, and none make them better than Louie's Pizza House.   Seriously, ever since Philly Steak & Gyro at the food court in the Brass Mill Mall shut down several years ago, I was at a loss for where to get a good gyro - lamb, tomato, lettuce, and onions smothered in a special Greek sauce wrapped in pita bread. I had tried a few other places - one now also defunct, and two others still around - but none of them came close to what I experienced when I found o...

Ours may not be the oldest country in the world, nor the country with the richest of traditions, but we are the country that the entire world DOES revolve around. Given our current state of financial and social uncertainty there is still more opportunity here than any other country in the world. A look at the morning paper today showed the unemployment picture in this country at a 26 year low. For the first time since the great depression there were more jobs lost than at any other time in our history. But yet, people from depressed countries all over would still rather be here in a recession than where they are. As I drove towards the office today, just like every other day, the monument in front of the VFW post just struck me different on the eve of our nations birthday. Mounted right...

View Southbury, CT in a larger map   Well, you live in Waterbury, pay taxes in Waterbury, and you work in….Southbury. Actually, of all the towns in the Greater Waterbury area, Southbury has the unique distinction of being a place where there is both a large number of Waterbury residents working within its borders and there are also Southbury residents who work in Waterbury as well. So that begs the question: what might induce a Waterbury resident to move to Southbury??? 1. The taxes are lower. Compare a tax mill rate of 21.1 vs. 39.92 for the two areas. Not to mention that relatively similar houses in both towns are worth much, much more in Southbury. 2. The school district is better. Visit the Pomperaug School District site to get more detailed information. As the town, along with Midd...
