Danbury Year in Review: A Look Through 2021 in the Hat City
Danbury, CT has a lot of faces, a lot of different landscapes, ideas and people. In 2021, I moved to Downtown Danbury and tried to soak up as much of my environment as possible and share it with my readers.
In hindsight, I did very little reporting of hard news or the events of the day. Instead, I focused most of my attention on the stories that have been here for a long time. I took a deeper look at places that are easily overlooked. This is some of what I saw in 2021 in the Hat City.
Danbury in Photos 2021
It's that time of year where media outlets inundate you with a braggard list of all the work they've done for the year. By December, everyone is pretty much out of ideas anyway. This is sort of like that. The following are photos I took of Danbury, CT for stories I wrote about the Hat City in 2021.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read and share my stories in 2021, it really means a lot. No, seriously it's my job.
Esposito VS. Alves: A Complete Breakdown of Danbury’s 2021 Mayoral Race
Voting in a local election is one the best ways to express your beliefs and immediately impact the world around you but how can you really know a candidate from a few quotes in the local newspaper? You can't.
The paper cannot give you a sense for the candidates personality nor can they show you how the person performs under pressure. A radio interview is a much more intimate thing and you can learn who your local candidates are on a deeper level.
In the weeks leading up to the 2021 Danbury Mayoral Election, we believe we have provided Hat City voters with an unbiased view of their options. Each Friday we brought Roberto Alves and Dean Esposito on the Ethan and Lou Show and asked them both the same questions.
Because the person who goes last, has the ability/advantage of answering to the first candidate, we would alternate the order every few weeks. We did not endorse either candidate, we simply gave an even portrait of the two men, their politics and their vision for Danbury.
This is a look back at the I-95 Election coverage for you to review the day before Election. Below you will be given an excerpt from each article we did with the candidates and a link that can redirect you to the full article. Most of the articles include full interviews we conducted with your candidates, Vote tomorrow, it matters.
