Social Services Department treats disabled persons horribly. They rush you off the phone like you…read moreare disturbing them and give you useless information. My advice to disabled, chronically ill, and:or elderly don't bother asking for help you won't get anywhere. My Google review was not visible to the public for some reason which was not valid but I will use any avenue I can to tell the truth about my very negative experience and what you can expect if you reach out to them if you are someone like me. I didn't appreciate being censored because my review is unfavorable:(

My husband and I had an appointment to renew our passports on a Saturday morning; we were in and…read moreout in less than 30 minutes, and passports will be delivered to our home by this Thursday. Everyone with whom we spoke, including security, agents, and other staff, were efficient, professional, and helpful. Even though it's hot and humid outside, the agency is cool and pleasant with great air conditioning inside. America!

Security was super friendly which is the reason for 2 stars…read more Reason for the negative review: - Parking not allowed in the lot behind the Agency. Had to ask a parking attendant who advised to park for fee at CVS or the Key bank across/down the street. - Had an 8am appointment and had to wait in multiple slow-moving lines. Was only done at 9:30am for an expedited passport request. - Told to come back at 1pm which we did. Waited until 3pm (closing time) to be told that the passport was ready and they would call us when it's done. No indication if the passport would be ready before flight out in 2 days. - On exit, Security informed us the office was closed the next day for staff training. Counter staff did not inform of this. Not ok.

Almost forgot to renew my license before my birthday in a few days. The DMV by my house was already…read morebooked up so I came to the Stamford DMV by my job. I conveniently parked my car right out front. This location is appointment only and they only accept credit/debit, NO cash. The waiting area was unique as it had tables. You can check in on your phone. You get a text message when it's your turn. I didn't even notice how the whole process took me an hour because I was peacefully entertained using my phone. I wouldn't mind having to come here again, hopefully I won't have to until 2032!

This 46 foot structure stands out. The first time I was in Stamford, as soon as I got off the…read moreMetro-North station, it was the first thing I noticed. It sits in a park that is right next to the train station. The structure itself is not too exciting but when it was erected in 1999, it was the largest stained glass structure in the world. It has become the landmark for the city, which says more about how plain the city is rather than the structure itself.

I had read about the Stamford Cone as a piece of public art in Stamford CT. A 45' high stained…read moreglass cone? I'm in! But it turned out to be surprisingly difficult to find. The address given is of the UBS building. But it's actually across the street. Hidden behind a tree lined sidewalk. And the back side is just white glass, making it even more difficult to find. It's probably easiest to find/see from the train station. There is absolutely no parking nearby. So I ended up parking a few blocks away and walking over. The day I went, it was cloudy and overcast. I bet this is absolutely beautiful in the sun. But still- why hide a million dollar piece of art? From Wikipedia: "The Stamford Cone is a 14 metre high structural artwork in the shape of a cone built as a landmark feature for the headquarters building of UBS AG in Stamford, Connecticut. The structure, which entirely consists of stained glass by British artist Brian Clarke, was designed by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and engineered by Dewhurst MacFarlane & Partners. It was completed in 1999 at a cost of over $1 million."
