If you look at a map of Stamford with the surrounding towns, you will see that Stamford is a rectangle. Not a perfect rectangle yet good enough to be called a rectangle. That means there are four corners for Stamford. Have you been to them? Do you know where the four corners of Stamford are?
I have been to them and here are my findings.
The Southeast Corner is Cove Island by the Holly Pond Dam. As you can see, we have apartment living for the birds in this corner. Cove Island is very accessible by car, bus and of course by walking. If you haven’t been to Cove yet you definitely need to make the journey.
The Southwest Corner is located at Shore Road. There is a sign saying you are now in Greenwich to indicate the corner. There is not that much to see at this
corner. Close by is Waterside. There are some hidden public spaces.
The Northeast Corner is Trinity Pass at the river flowing into Laurel Reservoir. I
am most familiar with this corner. I grew up in Pound Ridge and would often take Trinity Pass to High Ridge to visit Stamford. By the way if you take Trinity Pass to the end you will pass two of Stamford Reservoirs with a third very close by. Also, Scotts Corners has Friday night Food Trucks in the summer.
Now the last corner Northwest. I believe very few Stamford citizens have been to this corner. I only made it there to write this article. The Northwest Corner is where Taconic Road ends and intersects with Banksville Road. At this intersection you have Stamford, Greenwich and North Castle New York.
Driving up Taconic Road is interesting to say the least. On your left side is Greenwich and on the right side is Stamford. There are beautiful Mansions, houses and horse farms. If you turn off Taconic to East Middle Patent Road, you can go to the Mianus Gorge Preserve which is definitely worth the visit and walk.
I am planning on going back to this part of Stamford and try to talk to citizens there. It must be strange living in this part of Stamford and pretty much unknown by the rest of Stamford.
