There is nothing better than a sunny, autumn day in the Hat City. The history of the city feels more tangible and the colors jump at your eyes. If you can overlook the honking horns and the manic screams (I can), a ride down Main Street in the fall could brighten anyone's perspective.

Some of Danbury’s Most Remarkably Obscure Fall Facts and Fun Photos

I took some photos of Danbury during the fall of 2022 and I have paired them with some random, interesting fall facts about the city. 

Danbury’s beauty lies in its diversity. Yes, we are one of the most culturally diverse cities in America, but our rainbow effect does not stop there. Our home activates all of the senses and smacks you in the face with stories of the past.

Too melodramatic? I don't care. I'm so often accused of being a misery, being someone who can't appreciate what is in front of him but it's not true. The fact is, people are not listening, they are overlooking my passion for my family, my city and my radio show. Those are enough for me, they fill up my buckets and anything that gets between me and them is an aggravation.

Exploring Beyond the Rusty Gates of Danbury's Oldest Cemetery on Wooster Street

I live just down the block from the Wooster Street Cemetery and whenever I pass, I am always struck at how odd it is. You have this quiet, beautiful place that is dedicated to the people who were buried there, in the middle of a busy city and almost no one ever goes there. I decided to go take a deeper look around and see what was beyond the iron gates and stone walls.

Rich history and survival is the story of Danbury's Old Jail. It's historical significance in the Hat City is unquestionable, and many residents know some of the facts.

Here I share with you some of the facts that make the Old Jail special, the work it took to keep it intact and why I found the space haunting.
