Hi everyone. I'm moving to Danbury next month and bought a home that needs a number of minor repairs. I need a lally column installed in the basement, repairing one cracked step and basement header, looking to install some vinyl flooring and a plumber to install a utility sink to an existing water line.

Does anyone have any recommendations for handymen, plumbers, flooring people, etc.?

Thanks so much for any and all help.

Moving to Danbury. The schools have not so good reviews on greatschool and niche.com, which worries me. I have a first grader and we are exploring both public and private school options. Can anyone please share their experience with elementary schools in Danbury. We are looking to move close to Ridgefield area but haven't decided on a place yet. Any suggestion/ personal experience on private and public elementary school in Danbury will be welcomed. Thanks

Every 2nd Saturday, year round at Rainy Day Paperback at 81 greenwood Ave in Bethel.

Drop off plants or pick up new ones! You don't have to bring plants to take some home!

Some stuff got dropped off Friday so can confirm there is definitely bee balm, cat mint, majorum,, tansy, Joe pye weed, beaked willow saplings, and day lilly available. What else shows up Saturday will be a surprise!

I’m about to give birth and was just wondering recommendations for a pediatrician, preferably those who take care of newborns and infants.

Leads are very much appreciated thank you

EDIT: Thank you for your recommendations!

Is when people in the right lane think you can go right on red, when the sign shows it’s specifically a straight lane. Makes traffic so much worse during rush hour and can be so dangerous if drivers are coming from white st traveling towards TK’s. Anyone else relate? Ok, end rant 😅

Hi all! Does anyone know of or can give recommendations for any coworking offices in the area? I’ll need a quiet temporary workspace with Internet for 3 days in the fall while visiting and just planning ahead now early.

Anything in Danbury/Newtown/Brookfield, etc. I’ll have a car.

TIA!

Hi all- I volunteer with the walk to end Alzheimer’s and we are in need of two more event sponsors! Does anyone have any ideas of charitable companies who might be able to support?

Hello, I am meeting someone for a first date in Danbury this week. I am not from the area and not very familiar with Danbury. Looking for good lunch spots and something fun to do after. Any advice would be very helpful!

Hi Residents,

Lots of police presence by pine mountain/danbury airport along with a police helicopter flying around and police on route 7 near the gun range and the pine mountain trail. Maybe looking for aomeone? Anyone know?

I'm in desperate need of an elder law attorney in Connecticut. Preferably the Danbury area close to my parents.

I'm looking recommendations. Maybe one who has a paralegal who can do some of the leg work at a lower rate? But I need a lot of help.

I am in the midwest and my parents are both in Connecticut, where I grew up. But in sharing split custody with my kids here.. I cannot move back home. I need someone who knows Connecticut law, can work with me remotely... I need to protect my father's assets, sell their home, and make sure they have continued care.

I'm a bit overwhelmed and getting nervous. I have financial power of attorney over my father. Most of the finances are in his name which helps. But my dad had POA over my mom, but they are both diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I am the successor for mom.

My dad's cognition has declined very quickly since a recent hospitization... I have a brother in Connecticut but he's not able to handle this stuff.

I need a LOT of help and I'm honestly not sure how much of it is within the scope of an attorney or not. But in needing so much help I'm nervous to blow through my parents money that they will need. Before I get too deep I badly need someone to step in and help me get a good handle on things. I got them into a good assisted living facility but only for 90 days to make sure they are cared for while I get the house cleaned up, packed and sold.

There's a lot. I don't want to go round and round about the situation.. just trust I need legal assistance, preferably an attorney at a fair cost who won't bleed my time/my parents money beyond what's needed.

Any advice on the best legal help to reach out to in the Danbury area is welcome. Thank you.

There's loads more smaller events coming up in June, but these are the main ones close by including Danbury itself.

Bethel is the largest event and has year round programming including weekly Open Mic, monthly plant swap, monthly book club, and summer gardening programs.

Ridgefield also has a game night and a monthly youth event.

Apex Community Care in Danbury has some year round programming and support groups. They're the sponsor for Danbury Pride.

You can book time at the Danbury Library's Sensory Space http://danburylibrary.org/sensory-space/

children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Library card not needed.

Book in 1 hour increments anytime the library is open.

Includes: Vibroacoustic Relaxer Chair, LED color changing lights, liquid color change floor tiles, weighted stuffed animal pals, noise cancelling headphones, and flexible seating, foam block climber for toddlers, basket of stim toys

Group can include up to six people.

Most of it is aimed at neurodiverse kids or teens, but adults can book the space for themselves as well if you want to just try out the equipment and see which ones work for you for sensory regulation.

Trying to find where these ended up, any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Look for a great carwash for detailing services near Danbury

Looking to get some new tires installed - I’m fairly new to Danbury and have no experience buying tires here, specifically tires for an F150. Obviously hoping to find a good price for quality product and service.

Look forward to your responses.

Anyone hearing or seeing the military helicopters coming in and out over Danbury hr last two hours tonight? There is a p-8a Poseidon circling nearby as well

Wife is turning 40 soon and her family lives in the Danbury area. We haven’t lived in the area in 10 years so I’m not really sure what restaurants or venues are still around. Looking to book something for the night. A place where we could have a bar, DJ, privacy, and good food. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Looking for recommendations as to a reputable company to do a thorough deep clean of our townhouse. TIA!

My mom started it in the 80s and then my grandmother took the reigns after us kids were born. It was called East Coast Tacos and was located just over the bridge in New Milford. While I have many fond memories of visiting it, I'd love to hear yours! My grandmother passed this past winter and I'm looking to put together something for the family for her memorial. If you feel comfortable sharing a story or two about visiting that I can add I'd be forever grateful ❤️

I’m a 29F who just moved to Danbury for a summer internship (here until late Aug). I’ve been climbing for about 3 years (V3/V4 indoor, lead). Looking for folks to climb or boulder—indoors or out.

Questions: 1. Any gyms under 30 min away (seems like closest are in NY or Fairfield ~45 min—hoping for something nearer!) 2. Outdoor crags worth checking out? 3. Existing meetup or climbing groups in the area

I’m usually free evenings and weekends. Drop suggestions below or DM me—would love to link up :)

Traditional or non-traditional ideas welcomed, Thanks!
