Hello

I just visited Stamford for the first time and stepped my foot in Connecticut and visited Stamford Town Center Mall. I must say that I really fell in love with your city and the beautiful view from Tappan Zee Bridge driving there. Connecticut although small offers great and modern small cities with nice skyscrapers and safe to walk.

I live in Bergen County so decided to visit your area today especially since our shopping and malls are closed on Sundays (Don't get me wrong I do love blue laws)

I heard Greenwich has beautiful McMansions. I wish I knew the addresses to drive thru them... Anyone know for next time visit?

Thank you. I followed your route and just arrived home. Sorry I was quite disappointed... Although there very few homes here and there that were gorgeous; the mansions in Bergen County are much bigger, nicer and often made with brick.

Uh, did you drive up the same North Street? North, Round Hill Round, and Lake Ave is the richest area in the COUNTRY. Barely anywhere can match the sheer volume of mansions in that area.

Unsure. It was a somewhat narrow road. Have you been to Alpine, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Englewood Cliffs, Franklin Lakes (from Jersey housewives) and parts of Paramus? - enormous brick McMansions where they are visible and not only tree covered. Alpine is the wealthiest zip code in the nation actually. Traveled throughout the country I don't think any city beats Alpine with its homes. Rio Vista community in Mahwah is also amazing.

If this is a valid/true post, then I think you took a wrong somewhere and missed the mark entirely. There's no way in the world you could have driven through mid & back country Greenwich and come away with this impression. At all...
