Residents of Hamden Rental Apartments Wonder What Happened to Winter
Posted by: | Comments
Its great to not have to worry about snow like this with warmer temperatures!
While we have been enjoying the warmer temperatures, residents of our Seramonte Hamden rental apartments can’t help but be amazed that this winter has been one of the mildest in terms of snowfall and temperature since 1967. Last year on Groundhog’s Day, a blizzard swept through New England and blanketed us with snow. This year, Punxsutawney Phil came out of his hole to mild temperatures but saw his shadow and thus predicted six more weeks of winter. But where is the groundhog prophet’s winter? This year’s snowfall is a record low and we’ve been experiencing mild temperatures that have been averaging at least five degrees above normal. Read More→

The Ferguson Library provides Branford residents with warmth and fun.
While our weather here at Stamford rental apartments has been mild so far, there’s still three months of winter left. Since we believe in being prepared, we have scoped out a couple of local places of interest that are only a couple of blocks from our Hoyt-Bedford, Morgan Manor and Townhouse apartments where you can go to spend some quality time when the snow is thick.
If you haven’t already stopped by, then you really should check out the Ferguson Library, located on the corner of Bedford and Broad streets. Since it first opened its doors more than 100 years ago at the end of the 19th century, The Ferguson Library has been the heart of the Stamford community. It is a place of learning and education as well as a gathering place where people can meet and exchange ideas. For some of us, it’s even a place to just come in out of the cold, grab a Starbucks latte and catch up on the news of the day. The Ferguson has really kept up-to-date in its services and remains a vital and cutting edge resource for the whole city with a wide selection of titles, exciting events and even e-reader assistance.
For kids, there are services like story hours, crafts and movies. Children in grades two through five can attend a Saturday morning chess club. They can learn the moves in just two classes; and while it’s open to all children, preference will be given to Stamford residents. Space is limited so you’ll have to call ahead to register at 203 351-8242. Read More→

Explore the Festival of Lighthouses Near Norwalk Apartments
Posted by: | Comments
Come see this one and 23 more at the Norwalk Maritime Aquarium's Festival of Lighthouses
Residents of our Morningside Gardens Norwalk apartments are just a short trip away from one of the season’s most magical local events: an opportunity to walk a trail illuminated by 24 hand-crafted lighthouses. These lighthouses are creatively built using everything from stone, gingerbread, toilet paper tubes, sugar cubes from France and even more crazy materials in the 10th annual “Festival of Lighthouses” at The Maritime Aquarium.
The festival runs now through Jan. 16, 2012, and Aquarium visitors can follow these homemade beacons through the galleries and cast a vote for their favorite. The lighthouse with the most votes wins $1,500! The display is free with Maritime Aquarium admission, normally $12.95 for adults and $9.95 for children, and a trip to the aquarium can easily be an entire day’s worth of learning and wonder.
Rules are kept to a minimum to allow for maximum creativity. Lighthouses must be 3 to 6 feet tall and have a working light, and may not include animal remains (including shells). Beyond that, it’s up to the creators’ imaginations. Entries in the display this year include a lighthouse made out of toilet-paper tubes, another made of welded copper, a Cat in the Hat-themed lighthouse, a lighthouse whose shingles are made from men’s neckties and another made of gingerbread.
