Reply to Where can I meet friends? by InvestmentThat3924

I think this is my only way to get everyone’s attention! But I see someone posted in the larger group a potential HH next week?? I’d love to schedule something for next weekend too - if anyone would be interested in going to Third Place 10/28 or 10/29???

Reply to Best way to find clubs/lets start new ones by AvatarEvan

Someone made a post last week in this sub with the title “Young Professionals…” and is planning a meet up next Wednesday night! If you comment there, I’m sure they’d be happy to add you to the chat (if you’re interested).

You know, I'm stuck at that light right next to the shop almost every day and I always look in the window. I have never once seen anyone other than the person working there inside the shop.

Very (VERY) curious what they're doing to keep the lights on. Would love to see their books.

In Stamford, Mianus River park is the way to go. The main trails are fine year round. This time of year some of the less travelled ones can be slippery with leaves.

Snarky answer: The best running route is one that takes place during and amidst street fairs like Arts & Crafts on Bedford. Dodging people, their dogs, stands and outdoor restaurant seating seems to be the ideal conditions for some runners :-)

Will never understand why people do this.

2nd recommendation for Cove island park. The paved loop is just under 1 mile and very scenic. You do need a permit during the summer but it is pretty cheap for residents ($25/year) or you can just look for street parking outside of the park and run in/out.

Depending where you are downtown these might be too far to incorporate into a 10k or less from your place but most have parking! -scalzi park, inner loop is 1/4 mile but there are also some meandering paths you can take that make it more interesting (plenty of parking, no sticker/fee) -woodland park on Stamford/Darien border (entrances off maple tree Ave or west Ave, west Ave has ~8 parking spots no sticker/fee) has very wide/nice main paths that you can use as a quick cut thru if you’re not into trail running -cove island park has paved and sanded/dirt paths and nice water views, plenty of parking off season -Cummings park has paved and dirt trails, some nice rolling hills and plenty of parking as well -also I found that Google earth (or satellite view on Apple Maps) has been a great tool when mapping out running routes in and around parks that im not familiar with as I’m a Stamford transplant !

I feel like it’s meant for people in their early 30s are in a relationship. They don’t need the constant hustle and bustle but they also don’t want pure quiet. If you’re in your 20s and single and ready to party it’s not for you
