A nice walk through Essex, Connecticut. I really liked this town the first time I went there, but that was years ago. Maybe I’ll go back sometime this summer.

I do find this video a little boring since the audio is ambiance noise instead of background music. This is from autumn 2020.

Yes, it’s right on the border with CT and she has been spotted at restaurants in Greenwich, Westport, etc.
Martha Stewart started her business/empire on Turkey Hill Road in Westport. She started with a local catering business.

Yes, she used to film her original tv show at the Turkey Hill Road house when the shows were simple and had only a few production people. But as the show grew in popularity, it got more complex and grew in staff. They overwhelmed the neighborhood so Martha built production facilities on the Post Road in Westport and only filmed remotes at Turkey Hill. By 2000, Martha outgrew that so she sold Turkey Hill and bought the massive 152 acre estate in Bedford. This allowed her to have massive gardens and lots of animals.

As I've said here before, You can leave CT but CT never leaves you.
It follows you like the monster in "It Follows". You walk around Florida one day and you find yourself looking over your shoulder for Pomfret or Simsbury or Redding or Colechester.
Can't stand Martha, phony. I had a business transaction about 20 years ago with her LGBT partner at the time. Not a nice person.

Starting in I-95 northbound before exit 12 in Darien to Norwalk and drive down Belden/West Ave. Quite frankly this is one of the nicest avenues in Norwalk. Particularly like the street lights. Very unique for the area (kind of reminds me of NYC.)

For the record, I noticed that DCTV203 videos when they appear initially Youtube is able to show them in either 720p or 1080p HD. However, now I’m noticing a lot of the videos shown here which when posted the 4K option wasn’t available now it is. This is simple to understand. It takes Youtube time to process the details from the moment they are uploaded to when it is capable of showing each video in 4K. Until then the maximum resolution will be 720p or 1080p HD (maybe even less), but as said before it is a matter of time until the 4K option is available because that’s the resolution the videos were created.

Example of a video that its initial highest resolution was 720p and now is 4K.
