Beloved Danbury Puppy Store Announces Permanent Closure

My wife and I like to stop into pet stores on our days off. We're both animal lovers, and we've found our version of joy by visiting exotic pets from all over the globe at animal retailers around Connecticut. One of our favorite places to stop was Puppy Love on Lake Avenue Extension in Danbury. I just saw very sad news, Puppy Love is permanently closing their doors.

I've met Puppy Love's owners Sean and Nancy Silverman many times over the years, in-store and here at the radio station, they're wonderful people. Sean and Nancy broke the news on their social media 5 days ago that after 27 years of operation in Danbury, they've decided to close their Lake Avenue Extension location permanently, and move to a direct business model. The Silvermans then announced that Puppy Love would remain open until their current selection of puppies found homes. Well, fortunately, or unfortunately for me, that end has come sooner than we'd thought.

In a follow-up post on Puppy Love's social media just this morning (Friday 5-26-23) The Silverman family has announced that Memorial Day weekend 2023 will be the last time that you will be able to physically stop into their store.

I'll join in on the chorus of folks offering well wishes, and a huge thank you to Nancy and Sean for bringing so many furry bundles of joy into our community. Every animal is deserving of love, no matter how or where you got it, and they helped many a lonely person find their new best friend. Thank you Nancy and Sean.

Ridgefield Playhouse Exec Shares Revealing Tales About Richards and More

The Ridgefield Playhouse and I-95 have had a longstanding and fruitful business relationship.The Playhouse, it's leadership and staff have always been welcoming to us and we like to think we've been good to them as well.

I've been doing the I-95 Morning Show for 15 years and in that time I've had so many wonderful memories in that building. We performed our Ethan and Lou 10 year Anniversary concert there, I've met countless celebrities at the Playhouse and have attended many of their shows.

Many of the top flight guests we've booked on the I-95 Morning Show have been courtesy of our association with the Playhouse. But it wasn't just the rock stars that got invited to our studio, the people behind the curtain have always been regular guests on our shows.

Jared Shahid is the new Managing Director at the Ridgefield Playhouse but not a new face to us. Ethan and I have hung with him backstage, we've had him in the studio and he and I even worked on a TV project together.

Jared is one of the best storytellers I know so we were delighted to invite him back on the show. Recently, Shahid joined us on the the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou & Dave. Whenever he comes in, he brings tickets and stories for our audience. These are some of the amazing behind the scenes tales he shared with us on Thursday (5/25/23).
