This is the Friday, 5th of November 2021 Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons Show Podcast with your host, Jeffrey Bingham Mead!
Welcome to an experience truly unparalleled in the 381 years of Greenwich, Connecticut’s history. Lucky for you, you’ve come to the right place.
By golly, you’re on-time, too! I hope you are as happy as I am to be here with you on this brisk, early November autumn day.
The local elections are over! Congratulations to all candidates who threw their hats into the ring.
Did you know that Greenwich drivers were being admonished about leaving their car keys in the ignition as early as 1945?
That Conyers Farm almost became a bird sanctuary in 1915?
That an effort to rename Lake Avenue to ‘Horseneck Road’ was stopped by Judge Frederick Hubbard? How? Why?
How much fun it must have been in 1904 when the congregation of Little Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church burned its mortgage?
That Italian workers used dynamite cartridges to catch fish in Dumpling Pond in 1884? Not everyone was pleased.
Have you ever experienced a nightmare in which you fell into a tank full of apple cider? That happened to a man in Round Hill in 1891.
We’ll have all this and lots more fun stuff on today’s weekly voyage into Greenwich, Connecticut’s fascinating history. It doesn’t get better than this.
This podcast is made possible by Peter F. Alexander of Site Design Associates; the Long Island Sound Institute (LISI); the Ambassador Museum United States of America, and Kevin M.J. O'Connor of the Jeffrey Matthews Financial Group. Thank you!
