Lived in Stamford for 52 years, it's amazing how much the downtown core has changed in the last 7 years since I moved away. I kinda wish the driver would have gone through Cummings Park, Scalzi Park and away from the downtown core but it would be mostly residential and not as interesting.
I like Stamford overall! But there seems to be a never-ending series of "urban renewal" projects taking place there, which mean more motor vehicles. Time to put the brakes on with growth, at least in the core city. Note the endless parking lot around 00:20:21. I wonder what the city plans to do with all that prime real estate. How about a park or multi-use pedestrian plaza? Not too sure about zoning ordinance in "The City that Works," as commercial and residential buildings often share the same neighborhoods in surprising ways, at least in the more urban parts of the city. Did notice sporadic bike lanes here and there, but the extreme "car centricity" in town would seem to make cycling there dicey at best. Did you see the jeep and small SUV blowing through the bike lane across from the hospital on W. Broad Street? There has always been opportunity in Stamford for anyone seeking upward mobility, especially if you bring needed skills and/or a good education with you.
This city should eventually get some minor league sports teams, like Bridgeport has with the Bridgeport Islanders and Connecticut United FC, and like Hartford has with the Hartford Yard Goats, the Hartford Wolf Pack, and the Hartford Athletic. New Haven only has college teams. Those teams are Quinnipiac and Yale.
Great Drive
Preciosa ciudad. Excelente video!

Looks better than Hartford from what I'm seeing, (Wife & Kids) Damon Wayans/Tisha Campbell..
The scene takes place in Stamford I think. They mentioned it several times in the show.

Stamford is in the NYC market, and Hartford is it's own market. So Stamford is in the nation's largest market.
