Parking Authority

When I'm feeling cheap (read: it's a weekday and I don't feel like paying NYS fare prices in…read moreBrewster and there's a reasonable service frequency) I take the train from Danbury. It's a quiet little station devoid of the crackheads who are rampant in Waterbury, so police presence isn't needed late at night - yeah, it's deserted, but on the same side, nobody's going to bother you walking to your car at the garage across the street because there's nobody there to bother you. However, if it's the weekend or I don't want to spend a zillion years travelling, or just need better service frequency, I'd take the extra 15 minutes to ride over the state line to Brewster. On the weekend the slight extra expense for tickets evens out when your round trip is 80 minutes shorter and parking is free. That said, during the week there are some direct to/from GCT trains during peak hours.

So, I just moved back to Danbury after 2.5 years but work in Stamford. There is no way I would…read moresubject myself to route 7, 35, or 684 to 287 to 95! So here I am on the train. Danbury is the first stop so I am guaranteed a spot to sit. The station is small, quaint and clean! I have yet to be inside the little building - so I may have to update this review. There is parking right in front of the station which I opted not to do as I have black leather seats which would be scorching when I got home and thinking ahead I do not want to shovel snow off my car. I park in the deck which is very close. The conductors on this line are very nice and even comedic. While the ride to Stanford is long - I know I will quickly get used to it. I can sleep! It has only been 3 days but the service has never been delayed.

The statue was built for a chain of Ohio restaurants in the 1950s named Uncle Sam's. He was clear-coated in 1992 and today he's looking good, patriotic and colorful. His past homes include the state fairgrounds in Danbury, Connecticut, and Lake George, New York, where he stood in the parking lot of the fairy tale Magic Forest theme park.

If I'm feeling anxious the i95 only enhances my anxiety, the Merritt keeps me calmer. If you get annoyed by tractor trailers, you know you'll avoid them here, because such large vehicles are not permitted due to the low clearance of beautiful historic bridges. There are only two lanes, so if an accident occurs, it can significantly delay your trip. If you can't see well in the dark and you're scared you might hit a deer, take the interstate highway instead, as there are not many light post here and wildlife might get blinded by your high-beams. If you have no preference, you can always allow your waze app to decided the route for you.

The new ownership I decided to give a chance and the following is the reason I implore anyone to beware of this shop. They did not fix the tire rod on my car from an accident I had. Drove the car for months until I had to get an oil change where it was discovered my inner tires were bald due to the tire rod never being fixed (had zero incidents in between service). Was told by my dealership this could have happened 1 of 2 ways, from the tow truck hooking on to my car (I never used a tow truck) or the body shop never rotated my tires because they did not fix my tire rod. They would not have been able to rotate the tires if the tire rod was not fixed. Wood Ave gave my insurance and I the run around "looking" for the tire rotation paperwork but were never able to find it after 3 WEEKS. They think I'm an idiot, and I guess I am since I have to pay for brand new tires because they didn't do their job....on my car the first time around and not taking responsibility when their mistake was brought to light.
