2024

A New Year

A New Beginning

I have been writing this blog for a couple of years now and have enjoyed immensely telling you about the delights of Stamford that I have discovered walking all over the town.

This year 2024 I am going to add some additional insights into my blogs.

Last year when I was walking on High Ridge Road, I saw the aftermath of a pedestrian/car incident. It was not good.  I am continually seeing bad driving, bad walking, and a lack of following the rules of the road.

I am going to be posting blogs about how the Stamford Traveler can do better. A Stamford traveler is anyone who travels through Stamford by any means of movement.  Which means just about everyone of us is a Stamford Traveler.

Now on to my next insight.

TWA

Do you know what it stands for? If you are my age, you might say TWA is the airline. Sadly, the airline has been gone for many years.

TWA for me now stands for trains and walking adventures. I have utilized the train to take me on some great walking adventures. I plan on doing more this year and reporting on them.

Here is a TWA you can do.  Take the train to New York City and walk around. However, to make it different take Amtrak to Penn Station. Amtrak breaks away from the Metro North Line at New Rochelle and will take you through the Bronx and over Hell Gate to Queens.  It is a great trip to see a different part of New York. Buy your ticket three weeks in advance and avoid Friday and Sunday. The cost is not that much.

On to adventures.
