  • Welcome to Norwalk, Connecticut
    Welcome to Norwalk, Connecticut County: Fairfield Population: 81,644 Square Miles: 36.3 Government: Mayor Distance to Major Cities: Boston: 151 miles Hartford: 61 miles New York City: 39 miles View of South Norwalk Welcome to Norwalk, CT a diverse city of seacoast commerce, education and industry that graces Long Island Sound. Seen by some as a sub- urb of New York, or indeed a suburb of Stamford, Norwalk is a vibrant, growing city. The sixth largest city in Connecticut and the third largest in Fairfield County, Norwalk attract families and singles who want to enjoy its quiet beauty while still being close to what the entire Gold Coast of Connecticut has to offer. Fishing and the farming of oysters has long been important to Norwalk, which was once nicknamed "Oyster Town." Each September, Norwalk holds its annual Oyster Festival at the Norwalk harbor, similar to many state fairs. Norwalk encompasses 36 square miles, of which nearly a third is water. Its neighborhoods range from brick apartment buildings to college dorms, old factory streets and transformed ware- house lofts, yacht havens and golf courses; its people represent nations and languages from all around the world. Indeed, about 25% of Norwalk residents were born in another country and have come here to make their home. The Norwalk public school system website provides translations to many languages, so the city's multinational population can access school information. Norwalk offers higher education with Norwalk Community College, Gibbs College and the University of Phoenix. South Norwalk still retains much of its industrial seaport character and important employment base, while the hub called SoNo" is being transformed into a true walking city with busy shops and lively restaurants.

  • Western Connecticut Tourism District
    Easton: ‘Da Best’ in our Eyes This past year, when the editors of Smithsonian Magazine called for submissions for their annual roundup of “The 15 Best Small Towns to Visit in 2021,” as secretary of the Executive Committee for the Western Connecticut Tourism District (WCTD) and proud Easton resident, I thought the odds were in our town’s favor to nominate “The Christmas Tree Capital of Connecticut” as a strong contender. Silverman’s Farm–Photo courtesy of Stacy Lytwyn The timing couldn’t have been better. Our town’s legacy is linked with three recent milestones. First, last year marked the 175th anniversary of Easton that today totals a population of roughly 7,500. (Visit the official site of the 175 th Anniversary of Easton at https://www.easton175.com) Second, also in 2020, Silverman’s Farm turned 100 years old. Third, the Easton Volunteer Fire Company #1 celebrates its 100-year anniversary as an organization this year. Our town’s staying power is fueled with the same passion, collaboration and loyalty that motivated and guided our earliest residents. For instance, town support and enthusiasm for the annual Fireman’s Carnival, which helps benefit the volunteer organization’s yearly operating costs and other expenses, has fueled the event for 80 seasons, apart from last year in 2020 when it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Comfort derives from tradition, at least this is the case for me when the town center bursts with energy, rolling out games, rides, festival booths, delicious food and delectable small- town appeal. With so much to boast about, I teamed up with my colleague, also an Easton resident, Connecticut guidebook author Stacy Lytwyn Maxwell, and we began the process by answering the essential question, “Why travel here?” The pivotal theme of our final submission was: Easton has nothing, but has everything! In other words, we have “nothing” in the sense of competing with big city attractions.

  • Gatsby: Myths and Realities of Long Island's North Shore Gold Coast.” the Nassau County Historical Society Journal 52 (1997):16–26
    Previously published in The Nassau County Historical Society Journal. Revised and modified in July 2010 for website publication at www.spinzialongislandestates.com Please cite as: Spinzia, Raymond E. and Judith A. Spinzia. “Gatsby: Myths and Realities of Long Island's North Shore Gold Coast.” The Nassau County Historical Society Journal 52 (1997):16–26. Gatsby: Myths and Realities of Long Island’s North Shore Gold Coast by Raymond E. Spinzia and Judith A. Spinzia . The North Shore estates more than those of any other area of the Island captured the imagination of twentieth-century America. They occupied the area from Great Neck east to Centerport and from the Long Island Sound to just south of the present site of the Long Island Expressway. At the height of the estate era, Long Island had three Gold Coasts. An excellent social history of the South Shore estates, entitled Along the Great South Bay: From Oakdale to Babylon, has been written by Harry W. Havemeyer. The East End estates, which were built in the area known as the Hamptons, are chronicled by the authors in the soon-to-be-published Long Island’s Prominent Families in the Town of Southampton: Their Estates and Their Country Homes and Long Island’s Prominent Families in the Town of East Hampton: Their Estates and Their Country Homes. It is Long Island’s North Shore Gold Coast and the fact, fiction, and outright confusion created by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby that are considered here.1 Even the very existence of the South Shore and East End estates has remained relatively unknown.
